The MLB draft begins on this Saturday and concludes on Sunday. The Jays do not have a good position heading into the draft. Their first pick drops by ten positions because the Jays payroll last season exceeded the second threshold of the competitive balance tax. And the Jays lose their second round pick because they signed Dylan Cease (I believe). Finally the Jays do not get a compensation pick for Bo Bichette because they signed Cease.
The Jays first pick is number 39. The other two picks on day one, in rounds three and four, are at numbers 103 and 131.
When your first pick is at number 39 your pick will be the best available player. Who that might be is unknown to me, but maybe some of the Bauxites have a suggestion for the front office.
Any pre draft thoughts can be added here.
