Another factor leading to more money being spent in Latin America of late is that there is no slotting system in place, nor does Major League Baseball seem to have any real interest in the bonuses being doled out. "Don't underrate that at all," said one team official. "You can call this all a market correction or adjustment or whatever you want, but at the same time, you don't have to deal with all the BS from MLB with these kids. You don't get a call saying you can't sign him, you don't have them calling your owner and telling him that what you are doing is breaking the system—you just write the check and sign the kid."
They went above slot to give 4th rounder Matt Cerda (HS SS from Oceanside, CA) a 500k bonus, I guess that is what MLB wanted to "approve" before he could play but considering that it wasn't like MLB was going to say "no" I can't see how the Cubs really did anything wrong in letting him suit up in the AZL
Yikes. The Cubs must've blown off MLB to get fined this bad for seems to be, basically, a paperwork f-up.
yeah--they should never have let that goat do the spreadsheet
