Cincinnati Reds take another loss, drop in 2023 draft order after MLB lottery
SAN DIEGO – The Cincinnati Reds lost 100 games during the 2022 season, and they were handed another loss in Major League Baseball’s inaugural draft lottery Tuesday.
The Reds had the fourth-best odds to land the No. 1 overall pick, but they were jumped in the lottery by three teams. They own the No. 7 pick in next summer’s MLB Draft.
The Pittsburgh Pirates won the lottery and received the No. 1 overall pick. The Reds and Pirates finished last season with identical 62-100 records, but the Pirates had slightly higher odds due to a tiebreaker for worst record in 2021.
