Robbie Ray to sign with the Mariners for $115M over 5 years

[Ehjays]

Looks like a 2nd Rd pick per mlb.com rules:

 

"The 2017-21 Collective Bargaining Agreement rules state that if the team that loses the free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient, based on its revenues and market size, then the selection -- if and only if the lost player signs for at least $50 million -- will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A of the 2022 MLB Draft. If the player signs for less than $50 million, the compensation pick for those teams would come after Competitive Balance Round B, which follows the second round.

 

The following 13 teams currently qualify for these picks: Brewers, Cleveland, D-backs, Mariners, Marlins, Orioles, Pirates, Rays, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Tigers and Twins.

 

• If the team that loses the player does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, its compensatory pick will come after Competitive Balance Round B. The value of the player's contract doesn't matter in this case.

 

The 15 teams in this category: Angels, Astros, Athletics, Blue Jays, Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, Giants, Mets, Nationals, Phillies, Rangers, Red Sox, White Sox and Yankees."

 

Yeah thats where i figured their picks would fall but that article threw me for a loop

If we look at the draft order for 2021, first pick after Competitive Balance Round B was #72.

 

To make it more interesting, Astros got #132 pick for losing Springer because they exceeded the luxury tax.

 

My point stands, while you can find some gems with a 3rd round pick, I don't see how you favor a 3rd round pick over a top of the rotation free agent starter.

Who suggested that?

 

We got a top of the rotation free agent starter and a compensation pick instead of just resigning Ray.
