Major League Baseball has confirmed that the Detroit Tigers will receive a competitive balance draft pick in the June 2020 amateur player draft. The announcement confirms what many of us had suspected previously.
The pick, currently slotted for No. 69 overall, is subject to change, depending on which teams sign elite free agents to contracts before the next draft begins. As an example, the Arizona Diamondbacks used their Round B selection to take University of Michigan pitcher Tommy Henry in the 2019 draft.
Major League Baseball awards competitive balance draft picks to the 10 teams with the smallest market score, and/or the 10 clubs with the least amount of local revenue.
