SAN DIEGO \u2014 The first-ever MLB draft lottery took place during the winter meetings Tuesday at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, and the Detroit Tigers received the No. 3 overall pick in 2023 edition of the amateur draft.<\/p>\n
The Tigers, the sixth-worst team in baseball last season, moved up three spots from their pre-lottery odds. The Pittsburgh Pirates moved up two spots to No. 1 overall, followed by the Washington Nationals. The Texas Rangers are fourth, followed by the Minnesota Twins and the Oakland Athletics, falling from second to sixth.<\/p>\n
The 2023 draft takes place next July in Seattle as part of MLB’s All-Star Game festivities.<\/p>\n
“Every opportunity to acquire an impact young player is sacred, and now we’re even closer to the top of the draft,” Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Tuesday night. “We’re going to get to a place in this organization where we are not picking at the top of the draft. That is ultimately the goal.”<\/p>\n
