Notable Draft Class News
LOWER PICKS MAKE FUTURES ROSTER
So much for winning a high draft slot. The 2027 Futures All Stars will be dominated by lower picks of the 1st round. Of the first 13 picks in the draft, only SP Steven England (Orioles, No. 7) made the Futures roster. After the 13th pick, 6 1st round picks and 2 supplemental draft picks earned All Star bids.
BIG INJURY: 5.27.27
Twins top prospect and No. 1 Top 100 LF Eugene Maldonado (POT A) suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle. Maldonado, 19, was playing at Double-A Gwinnett Saints, batting .258 with 3 HR and 16 RBI in 47 at-bats. (Worth noting that Maldonado opted-out of a pre-draft medical exam).
SUPRISING TRADE: 11.16.26
The Braves traded LF Mike Yastzemski, SP Reynaldo Lopez and 2 other players to the Mets for prospect CF Lewis Hancock and 3B Brett Baty. Hancock was the No. 26 pick by New York.
