MLB: Washington Nationals Break Their Own Record for Draft Bonuses

Steven BielAug 17, 2010

We won't have bonus information for all 50 rounds for a while, but we do know that the Nationals spent enough yesterday to break their own record for the most money ever spent on bonuses in a single draft.

Last year, in a draft headlined by Stephen Strasburg, the team spent $10,869,500 on bonuses. This year, we know they've already spent at least $11,178,200 (this doesn't count the full value of the major league contracts given to Harper or Strasburg--just bonuses).

Here's the run down of where the money went:
