Baseball Chat

Maybe I am missing something in how baseball setup this bidding system but what is to stop a team from bidding a really high figure (say 50 million) much higher then any other team would even consider and not really having an intention of signing the player (except if they'll accept a dirt cheap price)? If they "lose" it really doesn't cost them anything does it? And it would prevent another team from getting that player (for at least 1 year).
