If a bonus from round 11 onward exceeds $100,000, it will count towards the allotted budget, meaning a team could get itself into trouble with penalties despite when the pick was made.
As of now, they have 28 total unsigned picks, including a 4th rounder and the remaining amount they can spend without penalty is 1.3MM on ALL of them.
So that is a little better. Even though, the Red Sox are filthy. They purposely draft NCAA Seniors and sign them for peanuts because they don't have an negotiating leverage.
Example, they drafted Kyle Kraus was drafted in the 7th round in 2012 and signed for $1,000. Mike Miller,9th round in 2012, signed for $5,000. It is a shitty way to do business but they have found a way to sign everyone they draft.
Furthermore, they signed their 8th, 9th, and 10th rounders in 2013 for $10,000 each.

Every team does this. It used to be college seniors always got picked super late because they had zero leverage and could be signed for cheap. Now they get picked higher for the exact same reason. It's not dirty it's just smart use of the pool money.

This is not correct. They still have the pool value of the 4th round pick, which is over 400k, and 875k in savings which gives them 1.3 to sign the 4th round pick and any over slot deals for players outside of the top 10 rounds.
If those unsigned players outside the top 10 rounds sign for 100k or less, or do not sign at all, it has zero impact on their pool amount.
The 4th round pick could go unsigned causing them to lose the value from their pool (over 400k) and they would still have enough savings from others to give Longhi a big bonus.
And seniors aren't being screwed. They're getting the same money they've always gotten. That's what has to be taken into account when you decide to return for your senior season.

He must have been desperate for fast money. If he has a college degree worth anything, that's probably less than his first week's paycheck in the work force.
