very good article thanks for the update on draft pick compensation

Not a fan of this. With draft spending limitations, the rule changes with international free agents, and now this…it seems like the few ways for small market teams to compete have been taken away.

It’s good to see that the first 10 first round picks are protected.

Teams outside the Top 10 in the draft losing picks is going to limit movement some.
For the Greinke’s and Hamilton’s of the free agent class, its probably not an issue, but lesser free agents could see teams avoid them because they don’t want to give up their 1st round pick.
I know that for me unless its Greinke or Hamilton being signed, I don’t want to see the Dodgers give up a 1st round pick to sign any other free agent.

what is being used to determine the draft order of the supplemental picks?

I like it. It stops large market franchises like the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers from hoarding free agents and forces teams to invest in their farm system. Farm Systems are the lifeblood of any MLB franchise, and this rule solidifies that.
