MLB Draft 2026 Deep Dive"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In 2026, the Tampa Bay Rays return to the top four of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flobaseball.tv\/collections\/14921359-2026-mlb-draft-news\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">MLB Draft<\/a> for the first time since 2017 and just the second time since drafting Tim Beckham No. 1 overall in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>For a team that spent the first decade and a half living in the top five, the last two decades have seen the Rays become one of the most successful and consistent franchises in baseball, with a specific front office style few teams have been able to replicate.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since 2016 \u2014 the year that led to the No. 4 pick in 2017 \u2014 the Rays failed to win at least 80 games in 2025. That\u2019s a remarkable nine-year run for a small-market team. Tampa\u2019s back-to-back fourth-place finishes after five straight seasons of making the playoffs have the team in a bit of a transitional year \u2014 do the Rays, ever since Andrew Friedman rebuilt the front office 21 years ago, ever really traditionally rebuild?<\/p>\n<p>In Tampa, no player seems to be untouchable, and manager Kevin Cash has found ways to win with a constantly changing lineup. That\u2019ll be the case in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>But also, the Rays have the makeup of a team that could enter a playoff run as Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen continue to get healthy and Steven Matz and Ryan Pepiot round out the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>With the No. 2 pick, it\u2019s fair to wonder if that player ever even plays for the Rays by the time he reaches the big leagues, but at the same time it would be unlike Tampa to trade prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The Rays have a much more difficult decision than the Chicago White Sox seemingly do. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flobaseball.tv\/articles\/15091401-mlb-mock-draft-2026-chicago-white-sox-own-no-1-pick-who-will-they-take\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Roch Cholowsky<\/a> is one of the best college shortstop prospects in some time and is expected to go No. 1 after starring for the UCLA Bruins, the No. 1-ranked team in college baseball to start the season. The Rays, who had the No. 50-ranked prospect in baseball on the 40-man roster and who played 32 games for the Rays in 2025 at shortstop, will take long looks at that same position in this draft.<\/p>\n<p>But also don\u2019t think the Rays won\u2019t do what the Cincinnati Reds did in 2024 with the No. 2 pick and take the best, hardest-throwing college pitcher available in the 2026 MLB Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into the Tampa Bay Rays\u2019 2026 draft plan.<\/p>\n<p>What The Tampa Bay Rays Roster Has Now<\/p>\n<p>The offseason is ongoing as of Feb. 5., and thus what could be on the roster now might not be on the roster when Spring Training games start in Florida. That\u2019s the life the Rays have chosen.<\/p>\n<p>But Tampa added Gavin Lux in January via a deal with the Cincinnati Reds and Cedric Mullins signed in December.<\/p>\n<p>The Rays don\u2019t look ready to compete with the juggernauts of the American League East, especially with Baltimore looking to rebound after the Pete Alonso deal. But they will have the pitching, at least to start the season. McClanahan missed 2024 with Tommy John surgery and 2025 with another arm injury, but has a career 3.02 ERA in three seasons. Meanwhile, Drew Rasmussen was 10-4 with a 2.76 ERA in 2025. One of the returns in the 2021 Willy Adames trade with the Brewers, the 2025 All-Star finished ninth in the American League Cy Young voting.<\/p>\n<p>Junior Caminero, a 22-year-old All-Star, drove in 110 RBI while hitting 45 home runs. He\u2019s not arbitration-eligible until 2028 and under team control until 2031. It\u2019s not impossible to think Tampa would trade him sooner rather than later, but it\u2019s also fair to wonder if a Wander Franco-like contract extension is coming. Or perhaps Caminero will follow Elly De La Cruz, another young star in baseball, and wait to cash-in big during free agency.<\/p>\n<p>What The Tampa Bay Rays Farm System Looks Like<\/p>\n<p>The Tampa Bay Rays have two players on the MLB Top 100 and Baseball America prospects lists. Both lists are led by Carson Williams, who debuted last season for the Rays. The former first-round pick was a high school selection in 2021, and he had a big Double-A season in 2024 that helped push him to the big leagues. It didn\u2019t go great in the 32 games he played in 2025, as he hit just .172.<\/p>\n<p>The other top prospect is 2024 first-round pick Theo Gillen. The Austin, Texas, native hit .267 in A-ball in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Melton is the Rays\u2019 No. 4 prospect, and he debuted, albeit with the Houston Astros, in 2025. He comes to Tampa via the three-team trade headlined by Brandon Lowe to Pittsburgh in December.<\/p>\n<p>Who Will The Tampa Bay Rays Take In The 2026 MLB Draft?<\/p>\n<p>The Rays like taking high school players.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since 2020, the Rays have taken high school players seven times in the first round. TCU star Brayden Taylor, who played in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flobaseball.tv\/events\/8238459-2023-college-baseball-showdown\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2023 College Baseball Showdown<\/a>, was the No. 19 pick in the 2023 draft, while Brendan Summerhill, a star in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flobaseball.tv\/collections\/13493300-2025-college-baseball-season-kick-off\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2025 College Baseball Series<\/a>, was the No. 42 pick by the Rays in the first competitive balance round.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say they won\u2019t take a college player. The last time they owned a top-four pick, they took Brendan McKay out of Louisville.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flobaseball.tv\/articles\/15091401-mlb-mock-draft-2026-chicago-white-sox-own-no-1-pick-who-will-they-take\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">first FloBaseball mock draft <\/a>has the Rays taking Alabama standout Justin LeBron, a consensus top-five pick in the draft and someone who could certainly move through the system fast. If we\u2019re putting a time clock on the Rays to win the World Series based on when they will move Rasmussen (a free agent after 2027, so possibly even this year), McClanahan (a free agent after 2028) and Caminero (arbitration-eligible in 2028), then adding someone who may be able to impact the roster by early 2027 or 2028 would be ideal with this top pick.<\/p>\n<p>Teams should start to think that way when it comes to top-10 picks based on how quickly those players have not only made the big leagues but also excelled. Nick Kurtz, Paul Skenes and Jackson Holliday are good examples.<\/p>\n<p>That said, LeBron is the best fit for that move, but I don\u2019t see the Rays passing on Grady Emerson. <\/p>\n<p>The physical tools at 18 (by the time of the draft) are nearly identical to the presumptive No. 1 pick, Cholowsky. Emerson has elite hitting skills and athleticism.<\/p>\n<p>What could also come into play is that Emerson, from Fort Worth, is committed to play at the University of Texas. While it would be wild if the No. 2 pick in the draft opted not to sign what would be a last-slot signing bonus, in the world of NIL, it\u2019s not out of the question to wonder if Texas could convince him to skip the minors.<\/p>\n<p>2026 Shriners Children\u2019s Baseball ShowdownFeb. 13, 202612:00 PM ET: Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech4:00 PM ET: TCU vs. Vanderbilt8:00 PM ET: Oklahoma St vs.
