The 2026 MLB Draft starts Saturday at 1 p.m. ET, featuring a 20-round event held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center as part of Philadelphia’s All-Star Weekend. The first round’s projected top picks include Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson, and Jackson Flora. Notably, the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, and Yankees will not have first-round selections due to penalties for exceeding the competitive balance tax. Each projected pick includes its dollar value and total bonus pool, with teams allowed to sign players above or below the expected value without exceeding their total bonus pool.
