Cardinals eye top MLB draft lottery pick

St. Louis fans, here’s a silver lining for a tough season: the Cardinals are officially eligible for a top-six MLB draft lottery pick in 2026 if they miss the playoffs. That means another shot at landing a game-changing young talent, just like when they picked JJ Wetherholt—now one of baseball’s hottest prospects. The rules say teams can only get two lottery picks in a row, but since the Cards picked seventh last time, they’re back in the mix. How do you feel about the team’s draft future? Could this turn things around for St. Louis? #News #Cardinals #MLBDraft

Gators’ Fab Four Crack MLB Draft Top 100

Gator Nation, how about this draft buzz? Florida’s own ace, Liam “Strikeout King” Peterson, leads a quartet of Orange & Blue stars in Baseball America’s 2026 Top 100 prospects. Peterson’s dominance on the mound is no secret, but seeing Jones, Bastian, and Sandefer join him on the list cements UF as a true MLB pipeline. With Peterson’s SEC strikeout numbers and Bastian’s base-stealing speed, could this group set a new Gator draft record? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #GoGators #MLBDraft

Braves eye rare top draft pick after tough season

Atlanta Braves fans, it’s wild to see our team with one of the worst records in baseball right now. But here’s the silver lining: the Braves have a real shot at landing a top pick in next year’s MLB draft—something that could shape the team’s future for years. With a 20.56% chance at the No. 1 pick, we’re just behind the White Sox. The draft lottery is meant to discourage tanking, but with this season’s injuries and struggles, the Braves might end up with a high pick anyway. How do you feel about this possible reset for the team? #News #Braves #MLBDraft

Cornhuskers face draft hits and recruiting drama

Losing top talent to the MLB Draft is hitting Nebraska baseball hard—freshman standout Carter Gwost just signed with the Pirates, leaving a big hole before even stepping on campus. Meanwhile, football recruiting is heating up as local star Tory Pittman earned his fifth star, making him an even bigger target for powerhouse programs. And while excitement is building around Dylan Raiola, some analysts are raising eyebrows about the Huskers’ passing game, pointing to the O-line’s run-blocking strengths but questioning their pass protection. How do you see these changes shaping Nebraska’s future? #Sports #NebraskaCornhuskers #MLBDraft

Fischer & Hill’s Vegas Draft Night Bash

How about that for a draft night? Big Orange slugger Andrew Fischer and Ole Miss’s Luke Hill took over Circa Las Vegas, celebrating Fischer’s birthday and their MLB dreams with family, friends, and some serious steak. Fischer, who led the SEC in bombs this year, went 20th to the Brewers, while Hill landed with the Guardians in the 4th round. Love seeing these college rivals-turned-pros sharing the spotlight in style. Anyone else think this Vegas sendoff is the new draft tradition? #Sports #Baseball #MLBDraft

Cannon Peebles Heads to Cleveland!

Vol Nation, did you see Cannon Peebles get scooped up by the Guardians in the 17th round? After his wild ride at Rocky Top—including that controversial ejection against Wake—Peebles still managed to tie for second in SEC homers. Not bad for a guy who wasn’t even on the top-500 draft radar! Do you think the Guardians got a sleeper steal, or will Peebles have to prove the doubters wrong all over again? #Sports #Baseball #MLBDraft

Pirates Nab 'Flyer Phenom' Gwost in MLB Draft

Big news for Minnesota baseball fans—Carter Gwost, the Flyers’ slugging sensation, just got picked by the Pirates in the 17th round! Gwost’s .444 average and 9 bombs this season turned heads, but it’s his two-way potential that’s got scouts buzzing. He’s already committed to the Cornhuskers, but will he stick with college ball or jump straight to the pros? Either way, the Pirates just landed a serious prospect! #Sports #Baseball #MLBDraft
