The MLB Draft is a weird place though, with teams trying to make the most out of their slot values to sign as many picks as possible. This is also a relatively weak draft, with no generational players in it, so the probability of teams doing weird things is even higher than normal.
Arizona has not had a player drafted in the first round since 2008, when they actually had two players taken (Ryan Perry and Daniel Schlereth). So this isn't something that happens too often, and is definitely worth tuning in for.
