We won't have bonus information for all 50 rounds for a while, but we do know that the Nationals spent enough yesterday to break their own record for the most money ever spent on bonuses in a single draft.
Last year, in a draft headlined by Stephen Strasburg, the team spent $10,869,500 on bonuses. This year, we know they've already spent at least $11,178,200 (this doesn't count the full value of the major league contracts given to Harper or Strasburg--just bonuses).
Here's the run down of where the money went:
| Rd | Name | Bonus |
| 1 | Bryce Harper | $6,250,000 |
| 2 | Sammy Solis | $1,000,000 |
| 3 | Rick Hague | $430,200 |
| 4 | A.J. Cole | $2,000,000 |
| 5 | Jason Martinson | $174,000 |
| 6 | Cole Leonida | $125,000 |
| 7 | Kevin Keyes | $125,000 |
| 8 | Matt Grace | $125,000 |
| 9 | Aaron Barrett | $35,000 |
| 10 | Blake Kelso | $115,000 |
| 12 | Robbie Ray | $799,000 |
| Total | $11,178,200 |
