[2] The Washington Nationals, Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim all surrendered their first round picks by signing players who had received and rejected qualifying offers from their previous teams: Rafael Soriano,[3] B. J. Upton,[4] Kyle Lohse,[5] and Josh Hamilton,[6] respectively.

Both entered into negotiations with the Phillies with the help of a financial adviser, which is against National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.

[12] Marco Gonzales, the St. Louis Cardinals' first round pick, made his MLB debut on June 25, 2014.

[13] Nate Orf, who went undrafted out of Baylor University in 2013, signed with the Milwaukee Brewers for $500 and worked his way up through their farm system, making his MLB debut with them on July 2, 2018.

His first hit two days later turned out to be the game-winning home run and he was carried back out by his teammates for a curtain call.
