The 2026 MLB Draft unconventionally began on Saturday this year. Saturday, in Philadelphia, featured picks number one through 135.
Meanwhile, the second day of the draft, which spans rounds five through 20, will be streamed on MLB.com, MLB TV, MLB+, beginning at 11:30 am ET.
In all, the Mets have a total draft pool of $6,730,900 (third-lowest in the majors). This lower figure is largely because their first pick was pushed back 10 spots for being over the luxury tax, and they lost their second and fourth highest picks due to signing Bo Bichette, who had the qualifying offer attached.
They did receive a fourth round pick when Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers after the Mets extended him the qualifying offer.
Follow along with every single one of their picks in our draft tracker below! The tracker will continuously be updated throughout the day. To find our draft thread from Saturday, please click here.
