The Minor League Draft will be held during the offseason following the RFA bidding period to allow for comp picks to be applied to the current offseason. It will be a 6 round draft, and will include every player in MLB's June Amateur Draft, every international player signed July 2nd and after (who have not reached their 25th birthday)*, and any prospect who has had a minor league IP or AB that is not owned by any team.
These picks are only tradable beginning one week prior to the start of the draft.
The order of the first 10 picks will be determined by a random order lottery. An additional random order lottery will be conducted for picks 11-20. The first 10 lottery and 2nd 10 lottery is determined by regular season roto standings, with the lower roto points going to the first ten lottery. The same order will apply each round. For playoff teams the order will be determined by where they finish in the playoffs, with regular season combined roto points being the tiebreaker.
If two teams have the same number of roto points at the end of the regular season the team that has a higher ERA will get the better pick. If both teams have the same ERA and same amount of Roto points at the end of the season then a second tie breaker of least Runs scored will determine who gets the better pick. This tiebreaker only applies to playoff teams or if needed to determine which lottery certain teams fall into.
*all international players 25 y/o and older will be subject to regular free agency rules (signed to a contract, not a bonus). The same restrictions will apply to non-international free agents that have left the MLB/MiLB system to play abroad.
