The $2,000 bonus by Cubs to the VCU 10th rounder is the lowest top 10 rounds bonus paid to any player, so far.

Think Cubs had the honors last year too.

Dodgers have two guys at $2,500.

No other organization has had the temerity to go under $5,000.  Just Cubs and Dodgers.

Understand the way, way underslot strategy for signing the overslot guys etc. etc. etc. etc. but is it really necessary to squeeze the turnip on these poor schmucks to get them down from $5,000 to $2,000?  28 other organizations don't seem to be doing this.

Eventually, Theo is going to draft a guy 8th round who pays the Cubs $2,000 and Theo will argue Cubs get full underslot value + $2,000.
