Major League Baseball draft (English Wikipedia)

Simpson, Allan (June 4, 2005). "Bonus Concerns Created Draft; Yet Still Exist". Baseball America. Retrieved February 16, 2007.
There is some disagreement over who was the first player to surpass Reichardt's bonus. Staudohar claims that Darryl Strawberry's 1980 bonus equaled Reichardt's, but it was actually worth only $200,000 ($763,247 today). Jazayerli credits Andy Benes, who signed with the San Diego Padres for $235,000 ($624,793 today) in 1988. Baseball America lists Todd Demeter, a career minor-leaguer drafted by the New York Yankees, as surpassing the milestone when he signed for a $208,000 ($901,143 today) bonus in 1979."Evolution of the Bonus Record".
