Of course it is just a mock but the thought is they want to go cheap

I’m sure Crews and Skenes and Langford are ok with this.

Crews and Skenes are gonna get paid, regardless. I know it'd be cool for them to go 1 and 2, for us and them, but they'll be just fine.

This is the same organization that once had Gerrit Cole, Tyler Glasnow, Joe Musgrove, and Jameson Taillon and did nothing with them
Would be totally on brand for them to pass up on a generational talent like Skenes

The Nationals and Tigers would be getting absolute steals if that’s the case and rushing to the podium as soon as possible.

Why is this a big deal?

quote:

The 2022 Major League Baseball Draft saw 13 high school players drafted among the top 30, including the No. 1 overall pick in Jackson Holliday to the Baltimore Orioles and the No. 2 pick in Druw Jones to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

If I’m Pittsburgh, I’m taking Skenes. He’ll probably start the season in MLB opening day 2024.

Pirates front office is panicking about how they can screw this up, but it seems they've found a way. Complete joke of a franchise

I don’t think there was anyone of the Crews, Skenes, Langford caliber in that draft.

I get the logic of taking one of the two HS guys for a discount, but you’re likely passing on a 2024 big leaguer. Doesn’t seem smart.

I'm a Reds fan.

Word is the Reds @7 are letting it be known they are willing to pay over slot if one of the top 5 falls out.
A's pick 6 are going under slot, not an issue.

Crews/Langford/Skenes/Clark/Jenkins

Baseball is wild that you can use the number 1 pick and not take who you think is number 1

Could you imagine that in the NFL?

Pirates have the most $$ to spend ($16,185,700) & they will spend it.

Question is do they want to spend 10MM+ on one player, when the slot value is $9,721,000?

If they take a Clark 1/1@ 8.5MM, they have 8+MM leftover and will control the rest of the draft.

less than 10 years ago the Astros took a pitcher 1st overall and didn't sign him
