    Competitive Balance Draft

    Apparently it's today.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...ticle_35035642

    Now that Major League Baseball has gone through its first Draft and signing period under the new rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it's time to move on to the next phase of the new system: the Competitive Balance Lottery.

    The lottery, scheduled to take place Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. ET in New York, is a mechanism designed to help teams perceived to need the most assistance by awarding extra Draft picks to some of them. The 10 smallest-market teams and 10 lowest-revenue teams will have the chance to win one of six extra selections in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.

    Those half-dozen picks will be made at the conclusion of the first round, following the compensation selections. Because there is obvious crossover between those two groups, there are 13 teams entered into the first-round lottery: the D-backs, Orioles, Indians, Royals, A's, Pirates, Padres, Rays, Reds, Rockies, Marlins, Brewers and Cardinals. The odds of winning a Draft pick will be based on each team's winning percentage in the previous season.

    Technically, it's the lottery today to find out the picks....

    And it's Wednesday.

    Just FYI I read where those picks are tradeable also. Pretty cool...

    Apparently I didn't read thoroughly.

    There will be a second group of six picks, to be made after the conclusion of the second round. The teams from the first group that did not get one of the early picks will be re-entered, along with any other Major League team that receives revenue sharing. This year, only one team -- the Tigers -- will be added to the second lottery. The Competitive Balance Lottery winners and the order of their picks will be unveiled on MLB Network's "The Rundown" at 2:45 p.m. ET.

    From what I understand we could get an extra 1st or 2nd round pick out of this correct?

    Yes. If the Reds dont get a first round pick then they enter the second round lottery.

    I didn't realize the picks could be traded until reading about the draft earlier today too. That's a nice new wrinkle.

    Re: Competitive Balance Draft

    A supplimental 1st or 2nd, yeah.

    It's also tradeable-- which is interesting. Especially considering next year's draft looks deep and strong at this point.

    I wonder if they'll be able to be traded before this year's trade deadline. That would a nice chip to have.

    Are these sandwich picks for this going to be subject to the same draft pool (or is perhaps some prorated additional amount added to allow for these signings)?

    They can trade those picks this year, but not during the offseason (mlbtraderumors):

    MLB teams can trade the draft picks they obtain in the Competitive Balance Lottery. The picks, which can only be traded once, cannot be sold or traded during the offseason. In theory, the draft picks could be involved in some of this summer’s deadline deals.
