Sure is… Keeping fingers crossed that upcoming lottery pick is high and hopefully select two very good players in the top 32 choices.
Go Chaim Bloom !

Yes as has been noted, losing in order to get a higher draft pick isn't a sure thing with the lottery. But being consistently mediocre ensures that you will never have a chance of winning the lottery.ramfandan wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 10:55 amSure is… Keeping fingers crossed that upcoming lottery pick is high and hopefully select two very good players in the top 32 choices.

Re: Bloom awarded extra top draft pick
Its past time baseball started a allowing the trading of draft picks. I'm sure there are reasons (if anyone know what some of those reasons are, please share) but I'm also sure some guardrails could be put into place to mitigate the concerns.
Re: Bloom awarded extra top draft pick
"Bloom awarded"....he didn't do anything special to get it. He didn't bargain for it. The team's revenue (or lack thereof) got them in the drawing ...luck took over from there
should read "Cardinals awarded"
I think Bloom is doing an okay job so far....but let's not attribute something to him that he doesn't deserve. Please.

Re: Bloom awarded extra top draft pick
how many teams lose 10 spots in the draft b/c of CBA tax penalties? Last year 3 teams did..
that 32nd pick could move up, yes?

I know the OP meant Cardinals awarded pick and Bloom is the guy to take advantage of it.

I think BDW II should cash in some favors with MLB and win the draft lottery.craviduce wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:16 am "Bloom awarded"....he didn't do anything special to get it. He didn't bargain for it. The team's revenue (or lack thereof) got them in the drawing ...luck took over from there

He cashed in all his favors when neither he nor Mozeliak were implicated in HackGate.Ronnie Dobbs wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:24 amI think BDW II should cash in some favors with MLB and win the draft lottery.craviduce wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:16 am "Bloom awarded"....he didn't do anything special to get it.

Re: Bloom awarded extra top draft pick
How did the Cardinals get #4 ahead of Miami in round B? They had the lowest payroll in the league.
