JeffPassan Very interesting: There is a "competitive balance lottery" that awards lowest-revenue and smallest-market teams extra draft picks.
JeffPassanThere will be six draft picks immediately after the first round given out via lottery to teams with 10 lowest revenues, 10 smallest markets.
JeffPassanFrom an MLB/MLBPA release: "A club’s odds of winning the lottery will be based on its prior season’s winning percentage."
JeffPassanFor the teams that don't get one of those six picks, they will be entered in another lottery open for all teams w/ 6 picks after 2nd round.
