While many baseball fans pay close attention to the MLB Winter Meetings in hopes of seeing big time free agents signing with new teams or blockbuster trades occurring, there's some other business that's taken care during them.
One of those events is the MLB Draft Lottery, which was took place on Tuesday for just the fourth time in MLB history.
After missing the postseason in 2025, the Kansas City Royals earned a spot in the lottery range of picks once again (picks 1-18), however they entered the Tuesday evening's festivities needing to get some big-time luck to overcome the insurmountable odds of doing the unthinkable and landing the first overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft.
