Correct. If they pick in the top 6 this upcoming draft (via lottery), the highest they can pick in the 1st round the following year will be 11th. The Nationals are currently in this situation.
Kinda surprised they didn't roll the dice on a bounceback and possible trade. It is what it is. I couldn't be more apathetic on what next year's team will be. All I know is it will dreadful.
What a beast.
Sure hope the Sox can surround him with other talent. Having a superstar with a bunch of dreck surrounding them in the linup is depressing. (See Luis Robert.)
