The top six draft picks were determined via the weighted lottery, while the remaining picks for non-playoff teams were assigned in reverse order of their regular season standings. For playoff teams, draft positioning was based on how far they advanced in the postseason, starting with those eliminated in the Wild Card Game and moving through the Division Series, League Championship Series, and ultimately the World Series runner-up.
The Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers each saw their first-round picks drop 10 spots after exceeding the second surcharge threshold of the competitive balance tax by more than $40 million.
