The high school season is in playoff mode, collegiate campaigns are entering the tournament phase, and the 2023 MLB Draft is 45 days away. The Yankees hold the 26th selection in the first round, and they don’t choose again until 97th overall thanks to the league continuing to punish teams for signing MLB free agents.
Once the Yankees came to an agreement with southpaw Carlos Rodón, they forfeited their second and fifth-round picks, and that has the potential to affect their draft strategy. With a bonus pool of $5,299,400, the Yankees have the second-least amount of money to spend in the league.
