It’s not about “cheap”.

All teams have an allotted amount of money to spend based on their draft position.

In this situation, a team is looking to pay their first round pick less, in order to pay their second, third and fourth round picks more. They are still going to spend the same total amount of money.

I know it won't be me. I have removed myself from the draft

Can they trade out of the #1 slot? I would bet there is a club that would package picks and or players to get one of the top 3 picks.

Even so, while this approach would make sense in some years this isn’t one of them.

Crews and especially Skenes are Big Leaguers in 2024 with immediate all star potential. Would be like Cincy passing on Burrow in favor of depth.
