No problem, no feathers ruffled.

And I can understand why you felt you were getting correct information.
What's written in the ML website is for major league players. And yes, an agent cannot take money in the rule you cited. An agent can however make money from player endoresments, appearances, and have his firm handle player's affairs, is so desired. I do believe the word bonus in the sentence you refer to is for MLB which comes in the form usually of incentives (rookie of the year, all star attendance, etc.) Does not mean signing bonus, that came when the player was drafted and signs a minor league contract.
We have a lot of people coming here asking about advisors/agents before the draft. I just wanted to set the record straight, anyone can have an agent, it is not prohibited.
