Money. I’ve been saying all along the Pirates were not going to pay the slot money the big boys wanted. I figured they would trade for multiple picks.

there is no doubt if that happens its a money saving pick BUT I don’t think it means they spend less money. It means they spend huge over slot money on other picks maybe even picks outside the top 10 rounds.

They will still spend their slot money imo

Is that Colorado that Dollander projected to at #9, where pitchers go to die horrible place to be a starting pitcher. John Gray has done better in Texas than he ever did in Colorado. Freeland had one decent year at Colorado just hope he goes somewhere besides there!!!!!

The 2023 MLB Draft begins Sunday, July 9th, 2023 at 7PM EDT (ESPN, MLB Network) and ends Tuesday, July 11th, 2023. There are 20 rounds in this year's draft.

My guess on who gets drafted AND takes the money…in no particular order.

Dollander
Dickey
Maui
Denton
Halvorsen
Joyce
Jenkins
Lindsey

Combs & Ensley on the cusp, get drafted, but don’t take the $.




When: July 9, 2023 (Round 1, 2) at 7PM EDT; July 10, 2023 (Rounds 3-10) at 2PM EDT; July 11, 2023 (Rounds 11-20) at 2PM EDT

TV channels: ESPN, MLB Network (Round 1)

Where: Lumen Field, Seattle, WA.

Like last year, I decided to use Google spreadsheets this year to keep track of our draft-eligible players, incoming freshman class /signees, JUCO class, and (outgoing/incoming) transfers. Scroll down, and at the bottom of the spreadsheet, you will see four tabs for the four categories mentioned above. You can toggle back and forth between tabs to see players and their info. If anyone has additional info, please let me know in the replies, and I’ll do my best to update. During the draft, I'll try to update our draftees with round and MLB team.

I'll also update this OP with additional links, articles, and information as they become available. Feel free to post any links or info you find. Thanks everyone!
