The @OverSlot_ podcast was a lot of fun! Not only did @JoeDoyleMiLB & I figure out how to improve the @MLBDraft lottery, but we also realized we both have a lot of personal favorites for 2026. 🎧 https://t.co/7a9bzUHxYH

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

When healthy in 2024, Nico Zeglin had a 0.95 ERA & 90/16 K/BB in 66 IP between two Class A stops. His best attributes are his changeup and his fastball command.
The #Astros have acquired RHP Nico Zeglin from the Cubs in exchange for international bonus pool money. More on the 25-year-old who has a career 0.95 MiLB ERA and missed all of last season due to injury: https://t.co/T3TIVCz55a
