“`Since 2017, Major League Baseball has used a formula that combines revenue, winning percentage and market score to award Draft picks to teams that fall in the bottom 10 in revenue or market size. In 2024, there were 14 teams awarded picks in the two CB rounds: six in Round A and eight in Round B.
Competitive Balance Round A takes place between the first-round compensation picks and the second round, while Round B is held after the second round is over. The order of the picks within each round is determined by order of finish in the previous year’s standings, best down to worst.

Nice now that AlAl is gone let’s not waste it in another trade.
Why do we get one of those picks?
As long as we aren’t picking 1-1, we always screw that pick up.
Nice
“Competitive balance” to help us draft guys to completely counter the Dodgers signing Snell, Soto, Teo, and Sasaki. Nice.
