Miami Marlins 2025 draft pick signings and bonus pool tracker

[Ely Sussman]

The Miami Marlins' 2025 MLB Draft picks can officially begin their professional careers. All 21 players finalized their deals in advance of Monday's signing deadline.

This year, the Marlins had a bonus pool of $15,187,400. The pool applied to players selected during the first 10 rounds and those in the 11th round or later who cost more than $150k. They were allowed to spend up to 105% of their pool ($15,946,770) without losing future picks.

Miami's lone unsigned draftee entering deadline day was Cam Cannarella. The other 20 draftees received a combined $12,909,975 in pool money. The Marlins were able to offer Cannarella up to $2,277,425 using regular pool money, and that's exactly what they did.

Arquette makes more than six-year major leaguer, Jesús Sánchez, on our roster. Silliness just never ends.

Yes, but that amount is to sell your soul for 4 years of crap MiLB salary, 3 years of MLB minimum salary, and 3-4 years of arbitration salary - only if you're good enough to not get thrown out with the trash.  Just like the contract Sanchy chose to sign when he was a teen.  The silliness is that our 20th rd pick just signed the same back-breaking deal for $5k.  How much time do most of these guys put in a week to be great?  100 hours?  Not being able to live where you want, eat what you want, and do what you want, sleeping in different hotel rooms with another dude a quarter of the year, all for the 1% chance they will sign a life changing deal in 10 years?  Oh, plus you will probably have a surgery or two.  No thanks.

Most of us are used to professions that require entry-level work and wages, respective and relative to the profession. Paying someone before there is any work production seems incongruent, especially in a game/business with huge failure rates. This is, of course, only a single step in the necessary systemic revamping required for sustainability in the sport. The upcoming CBA will be about that red line. Given the short careers and unique elements (as you noted) to even enter the system, I think MLB would be better off paying every Major Leaguer $15 million per year (based on the 187-day season) with increases for standout service time, without accoutrements or guaranteed deals. You make the big leagues, you are paid. You stay in the big leagues, you are paid. Failure is not institutionalized in guaranteed contracts for which hundreds and hundreds of horrendous deals can be recounted without much trouble. That's the system the MLBPA might consider benefitting all of their members, while creating league parity for fans. Top players will still be paid more, earn monster endorsements, and be set for life.
