So the Nationals’ number combinations were still able to be selected, but if they were, MLB would have a do-over.
The Nationals’ combo of 3-9-11-13 came up the first time MLB selected, so there was a do-over. The Guardians won that second drawing to land the first pick. Then the Nationals won again, so there had to be a second do-over.
This happened last year as well. The Nationals won the No. 2 pick, but then also were selected when drawing for the fifth pick, which led to a do-over that gave the Twins a chance to win the fifth pick.
The Nationals haven’t had a winning record since they won the World Series in 2019. But when it comes to having their name called in the draft lottery, they reign supreme.
So then this would be kind of the opposite of being on the OD roster.
Elias says he’s got a shot at the OD roster but of course he’s going to say that. He wouldn’t NOT say that.
Everybody expected the Dodgers to the be the most logical team for Ohtani, but this might throw a wrench into him signing. He might turn away for a lack of trust.
