MLB has released the order of the competitive draft rounds in the 2018 draft with the Tampa Bay Rays possessing six picks of the top 100, and could gain at least one more depending on how Alex Cobb’s offseason transpires.
The Rays already have the 16th selection in the draft due to their record. Next, the Rays will select at 32nd overall in the Competitive Balance Round A, for their failure to sign RHP Drew Rasmussen who was taken with the 31st selection in the 2017 draft by the rays.
The Rays will pick 55th overall in the 2nd round, and then have another selection in the Competitive Balance Round B at 72nd overall.
