The 2018 MLB Draft starts on Monday, the first of three days of picks. The Dodgers pick dead last in every round, by virtue of finishing with the best record in baseball in 2017. As such, they have the smallest draft bonus pool available among major league teams.
The allotted slot values for the Dodgers’ draft picks through the first 10 rounds total just shy of $5.3 million, the smallest among baseball’s 30 teams. That’s down 8.7% from last year, when the Dodgers picked 23rd in the first round instead of 30th.
