was supposed to have started today at 2PM EST but I haven't seen any news yet. If you have a link to the draft results, please post it.

The Rule V is tomorrow at two.

Today is a lottery for the top picks in the Amateur Draft — a rather silly staged event.

That's what I originally thought. But this site had it listed for today.

Silly me, believing everything I read on the internet.
Thanks.

The Nats get the top pick — from a lottery that MLB assures me includes more teams than any other sport!!

I guess they found it hard to resist that 6.04 ERA over 134 innings

Lavender and Vasil were two of my favorite fragrances from Yankee Candle.

And he'll be easy for the Rays to keep, because they can stash him on the 60-day injured list for the entire season.

Vasil is another story. I suspect he'll suck and the Phillies will send him back.

I imagine that, having missed most of 2024, he's going to be a challenge for the Rays to keep on the roster all season.

I'd have liked the Mets to re-select Rocky Cherry and make him honorary bullpen coach or something

Only three innings, appearing in three games, but Lavender allowed no hits and no walks, while piling up seven strikeouts.

Phils trade Vasil to Rays for cash.

If they use that cash as part of the money they need to sign Pete, I'll really get mad.

If I'm counting right, it looks like the Mets lost 7 pitchers, a catcher and shortstop today, including the minor league phase. They only added AA righty Michael Hobbs from the Dodgers. On one hand, it's good the farm had so many prospects worthy of picking. On the other hand, it sucks the farm had so many prospects worthy of picking.
great googly moogly!
