Damn some crazy luck from the giants and rays
Giants jumping all the way to 4th is incredible. Praise be to Randy Winn 🙌🏾
Put a fucking bullet in my head now
Where mets?
MLB should do the draft lottery with marble races.
Excuse me?
I like it! From my perspective this is the best draft lottery yet!!
How do we get screwed by the draft lottery when we’re bad and then get blessed by it when we’re actually decent?
I can’t stop smiling at the moment
LETS GOOOOOOO ANOTHER TOP PROSPECT TO RUIN
Braves have #26 too
We draft well, 9 feels good.
Just know that no matter what 9 and 26 will be a pitcher. lol. Probably 2 lefties juuuust to be sure.
What’s the Phillies first pick at
why does it only show 25 picks
The white Sox deserved it 🤣
Hell yeah love that for us
Top 4 baby
I’m sorry and I am probably in the minority but this MLB draft lottery is a joke. No team that barely missed the playoffs or has a winning record should be drafting so high.
At the very least do what the NHL draft lottery does where if you “win” the lottery the highest you can rise is 10 spots from outside the top 10 which happened this past 2025 NHL draft.
Seeing teams slotted 12th or 13th and leap frogging over and ahead of a lot of bad teams I think is B.S. This has happened I think every year now since the draft lottery was implemented.
2023 – Twins moved up from #13 to #5
2024 – Guardians moved up from #9 to #1 and Reds moved up from #13 to #2
2025 – Mariners moved up from #15 to #3 and Cardinals moved up from #13 to #5
At least all the “elite” clubs that didn’t get a draft pick made playoffs, right???
What did NYY do to lose their pick?
We gonna roch down to, electric avenue, and then we’ll take it higher
See what happens when the Pope is a White Sox fan
Didn’t we fall a pretty good amount here?
Tight
At least Farhan is gone to not fuck this pick up
#9, do your thing AA
I can’t wait to draft a HS SS at number 2
Why does it seem like this new MLB draft lottery has bigger jumps and falls for teams than the other leagues?
I don’t know why we as baseball fans are allowing ourselves to get hyped for the MLB draft. So what your team jumped a few spots or dropped a few spots. The MLB draft is more of a crap shoot than any other sport. Plus the longer development process and the injuries and sidelining that can happen during that development. I mean I’m a baseball nerd desperate for any off-season news but it’s hard to get excited about the real draft when it happens because the forecasts on these players are so far away. Remember Mike Trout was drafted 25th overall.
I hate draft lotteries. I don’t think there has been any evidence that they actually prevent tanking and it often fails to reward bad teams that need the top draft capital to keep the cycle of rebuilding teams healthy. A team like the Rockies not getting a top-5 pick is horrible.
The issue in my mind has never been tanking, it’s a lack of spending. Get a salary floor to revive the middle class FA pool that right now only really sign with big money teams. Not every team can be good or even mediocre, that isn’t the issue. The issue is when teams just won’t sign decent veterans because they have a mandate to earn money for their owners.
Even our draft position is mid
The lottery is so stupid and does nothing to entice MLB teams not to tank
Uh what
23d lol
Genuinely shocked the Dodgers didn’t somehow end up with the number one pick.
16-19 “THCC” with two C’s
Grats Sox! Don’t fuck it up.
Yanks ded?
Okay okay I’ll stop looking for my teams logo. I get it. We still won the AL. Just… shut up.
Wouldn’t be a MLB draft order without the Marlins always being near the middle. Hilarious that we pick after the Braves though. Imagine saying that in early 2024
What happened to the other 5?
Damn. This does indeed prove that if you ain’t first you’re last.
Well that’s disappointing
Awesome basically almost never having a draft pick in the top 25
I’m convinced the Rockies only exist to make up for the fact that the Broncos, Avs, and Nuggets are competitive
It’s nice to have the Pope on your side when probability is a concern.

Still have no idea how the MLB draft works.
