Whom could the @Dodgers take with their top pick in the 2026 @MLBDraft? I offer @Vol_Baseball RHP Tegan Kuhns as a possibility, plus three others:
mlb.com
The Dodgers usually have to wait a while to make their first Draft selection, not that anyone is feeling sorry for them. Draft position is determined by reverse order of success the previous season,...
After a second straight World Series title (and another year of record spending), the #Dodgers will pick 40th in the 2026 MLB Draft. Explore who the organization might select there to reload for another run: https://t.co/N56vXbumDI

Brick is the best high school catcher available, and I mull some other possibilities for the @Yankees at No. 35:
mlb.com
While the Yankees are synonymous with big spending, their ability to find talent via the Draft also has played a large role in them making the postseason in eight of the last nine years. Three-time...
Aaron Judge, Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler all entered the #Yankees organization via the Draft. Prep catcher Will Brick headlines a talented group of potential options that could be available for New York with the No. 35 pick in 2026: https://t.co/44Nf4u8yLP

A college bat is my best bet for the @Cubs at No. 23:

When the Cubs ended a four-season playoff drought in 2025 and went on to win their first postseason series in eight years, the Draft played a significant role. First-round picks Ian Happ (2015), Nico...
When the @Cubs won their first postseason series in eight years last season, the Draft played a significant role. Here are four potential options for Chicago at the No. 23 spot in the '26 Draft: https://t.co/x7o1RBVRqZ

I know it's way too early, but I have @MLBDraft fever and couldn't resist! My first attempt at a 2026 mock draft, projecting the top pick for each club:
mlb.com
Now that MLB has held the Draft Lottery and we know which teams are picking where, it's time to predict whom they'll select. The 2026 Draft actually won't begin until July 11, so we have 214 days to...
With the MLB Draft lottery in the books, it's time for our first full mock draft! Each team's projected first pick: https://t.co/tCX4RgUrw8

Moving up to an earlier pick in the @MLBDraft Lottery is obviously huge -- and so is grabbing extra bonus pool money. Using 2025 pool numbers (which will increase for 2026), the @SFGiants gained $3.7 million, @RaysBaseball added $3.2 million & the @Royals got $2.7 million.

My favorite part of this story every time is that the @Yankees haven't retained a Rule 5 pick since 1973, Billy Parker never played in a big league game for them & he has the coolest background info of anyone on this list:
mlb.com
While a solid percentage of picks in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire...
Sticking in the big leagues for a whole season is no small task, but these players pulled it off when they needed to most. Here's a look back at the last time each organization kept a Rule 5 Draft prospect: https://t.co/im9R6cR9D7
