I actually have nine bonuses in my spreadsheet - but as of now, I'm not sure of what my sources were, so I'm reluctant to add that column to the list I've posted. I may spend some time trying to track them all down... but I'm a bit under the weather this afternoon (I had a COVID booster yesterday...). We'll see what I can get done.
Here is his spreadsheet. Venezuelan bonuses hidden but they do show up in the total.
As I said, we are probably close to done anyway. The Taiwanese kid was probably the last larger bonus. And, good news, he played really well in his FCL time.
Hmm. I can make my numbers tie to Matt's total - but to do that, I have to assume different values than he's reporting for Yemal Flores and Hao Yu Lee. Flores' bonus was reported as $1.3 million (BA, Spotrac) or $1.4 million (MLB-Jesse Sanchez). Lee's bonus was reported as a range ($600-650k - Winkleman tweet). If I take the higher values for these two (which Matt is not showing in his spreadsheet), and add the bonuses that are available for Rickardo Perez, Leornardo Rondon, and Marco Soto (all reported at Spotrac), I tie to Matt's reported total bonuses.
I also have smallish numbers for two other players - totaling $45k. Unfortunately, I don't have a record of where I saw these two figures.
Your guess is as good as mine. I tend to believe the lower numbers when we see a small range. I wonder if there are small bonuses for relocation and maybe college that are not formally part of what MLB allocates when there is a difference.
Yeah. What it means is that the number we see as unallocated is a ballpark figure, not precise - and of course, a lot of it may have been allocated to the nearly 20 kids for whom we don't have reported bonuses.
