2026 Draft Picks

Someone correct me if I’m mistaken, but the Astros are on track to have 4 picks within the first ~75 picks of the 2026 draft. Barring any major free agent signings and Hunter Brown continuing his dominance, the Astros should have a 1st round pick, a PPI pick after the first round if Brown finishes top 3 in Cy Young voting, a 2nd round pick, and a Compensatory pick if Valdez were to sign elsewhere, which is unfortunately likely. I’m a little hazy on the QO rules, so I could be mistaken. One note is, that if the Astros sign a QO restricted FA not named Framber Valdez they forfeit their second round pick. If they don’t, the Astros have really set themselves up for some serious draft capital next year.
