The 2024 MLB Draft in Fort Worth, Texas, begins Sunday, with the first day consisting of 74 selections that run through the end of the second round, along with both competitive balance rounds and compensation picks.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have 18 picks throughout the duration of the 2024 MLB Draft, which concludes Tuesday.
The Dodgers kept their original No. 23 overall pick despite being among the teams that exceeded the luxury tax threshold during the 2023 season. That is because they stayed under the second surcharge threshold of $273 million.
However, the Dodgers forfeited their second- and fifth-round picks due to signing Shohei Ohtani after he rejected the qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Angels.
The last time the Dodgers had the 23rd pick in the MLB Draft, they selected Jeren Kendall from Vanderbilt in 2017. He played five professional seasons with the organization before retiring after the 2022 season.
The Dodgers’ bonus pool for the 2024 Draft is $6,114,700, which ranks 29th in MLB ahead of only the Houston Astros. Bonus pools are calculated by adding the slot values of every pick through the first 10 rounds.
Any bonus amount more than $125,000 for draft picks after the 10th round also count against the pool money.
Consequences for exceeding that allotment include a 75% tax on any overage amount that is up to 5% over the pool. If a team goes over the 5%, they will lose their first-round pick in the next draft.
As part of the 2022-2026 collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the first six picks in the 2024 MLB Draft were awarded to teams through a lottery system.
