Rays Leap to No. 2 Draft Pick | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Tampa Bay Rays just pulled off a major draft surprise, jumping from a 3.03% chance to land the number two pick — a massive leap from their projected seventh spot. While the Chicago White Sox snagged the top pick with nearly 28% odds, the Rays are now in prime position to add elite talent to their already strong roster. Their last top-10 pick was in 2017, and their 2022 second-round selection of B.J. Upton proved to be a cornerstone. With the second-largest bonus pool and multiple future picks, the Rays are poised to reshape their farm system and make a splash in this stacked draft class.
