​The 2026 MLB Draft is in the books and the Atlanta Braves had a huge year with a lot of interesting players to follow. The Braves held their highest pick since 2019 and with that and their extra pick due to the Prospect Promotion Incentive, they had a massive bonus pool to work with that they are expected to spread across numerous hands. The biggest of those will be 9th overall pick AJ Gracia (Draft Report | My Take). While Gracia will demand a high bonus he is still expected to come in well below the slot value at the 29th pick, freeing up a load of money for the slew of high school players the Braves are targeting.Another savings pick is 26th overall surprise selection Carter Beck (draft report). Beck will receive at least $2,684,100 due to the rule that players who attend the draft combine and submit a physical must receive at least 75% of their slot value for a bonus, however Beck is not expected to get much over that numbers. These numbers are all going to be significant as the Braves selected seven later round high school players that are expected or to at least could receive over slot bonuses. The highly drafted guys will absolutely get big money. For the following players click on their names to view their draft day report. Kaiden McCarthy, Jensen Hirschkorn, Cole Dennis, Tyson Grulkowski, and Jack Brenner are all going to get significant bonuses, especially the first three of that group. Ryne Barker in the 11th round is also going to be a tough sign away from a Texas Tech commitment, and 13th round pick Cole Dorland has to be swayed away from a chance to attend Alabama. These players will stretch the bonus pool of the Braves, but with the lack of any late shot-in-the-dark picks the Braves should still be expected to sign all 21 players drafted. We are likely to get a slow trickle of bonuses for top guys announced over the next two weeks, though the Braves typically make quick work of their signings and are going to announce the full signing class likely within that two-week timeframe. In the meantime we seek to be a hub for all of the announcements and rumors prior to the official blue box from the Atlanta Braves.

For those of you following for the first time or in need of a reminder, the MLB draft signing is structured significantly different to other sports leagues. Each pick is assigned a specific value, and the sum of that value is the amount a team is allotted to spend total across all of their selections.For the first ten rounds of the d
