Let’s Dive into the Bonus Pool

The Major League Baseball and the MLBPA released the list of players award money from the $50 million pre-arbitration bonus pool.

Seattle center fielder Julio Rodriguez will receive the largest amount in the $50 million pool for pre-arbitration players, earning $1,865,349 to bring his two-year total to $3,416,199.

Arizona outfielder Corbin Carroll is second at $1,812,337, followed by Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman at $1,798,439, Atlanta right-hander Spencer Strider at $1,692,833 and Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele at $1,673,331, according to figures compiled by Major League Baseball and the players’ association.

A total of ten players received at last $1 million. I would like to see younger players get more money by becoming free agents sooner, but this is a nice start.
