With the regular season in the books, the 2013 draft order is now set. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, only the first 10 picks are protected. This offseason is the first after the elimination of the Type A/Type B free-agent compensation system. The only free agents subject to compensation will be those who are offered contracts equal to the average salary of the 125 highest-paid players in the game as they enter the free-agent process. Players also have to be with a team for an entire season to be subject to compensation. A team that signs one of those free agents will give up its first-round pick (though it will disappear rather than go to the former club) and the player’s previous team will gain a pick at the end of the first round.
This will also be the order of how much each team has to spend internationally. These numbers likely will shift some when teams start signing free agents, but here's how the first three rounds shape up right now:

Posted by larry Goren | October 4, 2012 at 5:02 pm | ShortcutLarry, it means the teams with those picks won’t have to surrender them if they sign a Type A free agent this offseason.
Posted by Nathan Rode | October 5, 2012 at 10:35 am | ShortcutDo the Marlins have the #6 or #7 pick since they have the same record as the Red Sox?? I see u all have them at #6 but was curious
Posted by TJ | October 5, 2012 at 11:57 am | ShortcutNo. 6. Tiebreaker is worst record in the previous season.
