From MLBTR --- Why are there now 14 teams instead of authorized 10???

Major League Baseball has set the order for Competitive Balance Rounds A and B of next year’s draft, reports Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. Those rounds, which take place after the completion of the first and second rounds, respectively, are comprised of picks awarded to teams that are considered in the bottom 10 in terms of market size and/or revenue.

The bottom 10 in revenue are probably not all also bottom 10 in market size.

If we end up losing a pick I could see AA going after one of these.

Not selling may not end up being that bad a choice for DMGM and the Royals after all - they stand to get 5 of the Top 40 picks in the draft if things fall their way.

I️ could see the Dbacks, Cards, and Indians being a trading partner for one of their picks.

The Rockies too since they're ahead of schedule after last year

We aren’t competitive . Haven’t been in years, how are we not getting some mercy picks?!?

Competitiveness isn’t a criteria for these picks.
