I guess it makes sense to spend in the draft when you're rebuilding a farm system, and not spend at the Pro level. :dunno:

Quote from the article link-

So, IOW, you shorted the spending by about $8.5 mil.
Whoops. Sorry.

I just saw this part
In the last 3 drafts, no team has spent more above their bonus pool than the Cubs at $1,297,500. Cardinals second at $956,390

This is a good example of what happens when your first thought is to troll.

Even with the $10M or so spent in the draft, fine, great. I'm glad the Cubs have spent. So far most of the investments seem to be working and progressing.

Major league payroll has dipped $40M over the past 4 years.

The Cubs have spent a lot on minor leagues, but its hard for me to fathom that they've spent $40M on that in player development.
