It seems like activity in trading draft picks is at an all time high. The list of traded picks is mind boggling to look at. Both Detroit and Montreal have been active on this front, with Detroit trading up to the 8th overall pick and Montreal managing to snag both the 2nd overall and the 11th overall picks. Montreal is also said to be shopping around for another mid level 1st rounder.
Several teams may still have top picks available to trade as well. It’s rumored that a number of teams are in talks for the number one overall pick, which currently belongs to the Mets, and Boston is said to be shopping their first rounder, which is the 3rd overall pick.
All in all, this should be amateur draft to remember.
Update, 10:40 AM (Dan): Looks like the Brewers seem to be shopping their pick as well, 9th overall in the draft, in exchange for “young, cheap, good pitching”.
