All-Star week in Seattle is here, and with the change from a few years ago, that also means it’s MLB Draft time. The proceedings begin tonight, live from Lumen Field in Seattle, where the league will draft until the beginning of the third round.
The Yankees will pick 26th overall this year, but they will have two fewer total picks than they did during the 2022 MLB Draft. They lost their second and fifth-round picks as part of the luxury tax penalty for signing Carlos Rodón.
Jake, Madison, Marcus, and a couple other contributors will join me in delving into all of the Yankees’ new draft picks, from the Round 1 pick today to those up through Round 10 on Monday and the rest on Tuesday.

The draft will then be on hold until Monday at 2:00 pm ET, and it will be an entirely-MLB.com event from there. Usually, they make it pretty easy to follow the draft picks though, and there won’t be much pomp and circumstance between selections. If anything, it will be just enough time for their draft experts to opine on the picks, and then it’s onto the next!
After Round 10, they’ll take a break and pick up on Tuesday at the same start time. Conference call time! This will be even faster, so buckle up. Here’s the full draft order for all rounds from three onward.

*Compensation picks
Per MLB.com, the Yankees have a total draft bonus pool of $5,299,400 to spend, meaning that they can go over or under the given slot number on any pick, but in the end, their grand total must stay below that amount. Here’s how the slots are divvied up:
Yankees MLB 2023 Draft bonus pool
| Round | Overall pick | Slot value |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Overall pick | Slot value |
| 1 | 26 | $3,065,000 |
| 3 | 97 | $692,000 |
| 4 | 129 | $506,800 |
| 6 | 192 | $285,400 |
| 7 | 222 | $224,700 |
| 8 | 252 | $188,000 |
| 9 | 282 | $173,100 |
| 10 | 312 | $164,400 |
| Totals | $5,299,400 |
The Yankees can vary their bonus levels; any left over might be used to help sign draft prospects with signability questions in the 11th round and beyond for more than the allotted $125,000 value. Teams can spend over their allotted pools, but not without penalties:
Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, teams lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
