Tribe takes last year's No. 1 pick Aiken at 17

Following the first-round selection, Cleveland will select 42nd in the Competive Balance A round and then 59th overall in the second round. The Draft will then continue on Tuesday with Rounds 3-10. The MLB.com preview show begins at 12:30 p.m. ET, with exclusive coverage of those rounds beginning at 1 p.m. ET.

The 18-year-old Aiken was selected with the top overall pick in last year's Draft by the Astros, but the team's concerns over his throwing elbow led to stalled negotiations. Following an agreement on a $6.5 million bonus last year, Houston lowered its offer to $5 million after a post-Draft physical.
