They did this so they could draft guys and pay them overslot in later rounds, not because they're cheap.

The MLB draft is so complicated in part because the elite high school prospects have a lot more leverage than draft prospects in any other sport.

I'm aware, just showing proof that they have utilized this strategy recently. Anybody dismissing it as a real possibility doesn't seem to understand the uniqueness of the MLB draft.
