When can we get an updated draft order?

Once we see which of the sixteen sign with new teams and which re-sign.
Jeff Todd
Yeah the above link is still the current order. Won’t know final order until the last QO-declining guy signs.

bitterly disappointment with Brett Anderson’s decision
MB923
He’s only thrown 303 Innings the past Four seasons. That’s only 18 innings and 20 innings more than Relievers Tyler Clippard and Kelvin Herrera respectively.
I think he made the right choice. Nobody is going to waste a draft pick on a SP who has only thrown 100 innings once the past 4 seasons
Next year may certainly be a different story. If he’s as effective and stays healthy, he will probably get a multiyear contract next season.

Any reason the Blue Jays didn’t let Estrada reject the offer so they can get the sandwich pick and the resign him after?

The blue jays would only get a sandwich pick if another team sign him before a specific date

Sixteen declining players, not seventeen.

Finally, we get to see the market self-correcting a bit. IMHO, while I dislike the system anyway, if you need something, in place, the QO’s should be reserved for the really top-tier free agents. The solid, useful player doesn’t need the drag, and the older player can really be hurt by it, because the expected duration of his contract is more limited. If the teams recognize that making the offer could actually mean paying for the player, then they might focus on value a bit more.

Finally the QO is working as it should.

Shocked that Wieters took the deal. Even after a down year you would have figured that he could fetch more on the open market as a catcher.

Probably figures he can get even more c with a healthy, full season. A guaranteed $16 million isn’t a bad consolation if he has another down year.

Of all on the list, I see Lackey and perhaps Kennedy struggling to get an offer worth ore than their QO, or a multi year deal worth the value of the picks forfeited. They may be well into the spring before their agents strong-arm GMs who think they have a shot at competing to take them on.
