Furthermore, in the wake of the high signing bonuses given to players like Chen Chin-feng, Wang Chien-ming and Tsao Chin-hui, Taiwan has seen a drain of high-school players after they graduate in recent years. These players are "sold" into the American sports market at all levels for less than US $ 200,000 a pop--peanuts by US standards.
此外，在歷經陳金鋒、王建民和曹錦輝等人的高簽約金後，台灣近年還流失了大量高中畢業球員，紛紛以每年不到 20 萬美元的低價，「賣」到美國的各等級運動市場。
