July 18, 201213 yr MLB held their first ever competitive balance draft today and the Marlins will receive one of six picks awarded before the start of round 2. These picks will go after the first round free agent compensation picks are decided (due to Type A free agents, etc.) The other clubs with picks (in order) before the second round are: Royals, Pirates, Dbacks, Orioles, and Reds. Marlins pick after the Reds. Additionally, six other clubs will select before the third round (after round 2 free agent compensation picks) and they are Padres, Indians, Rockies, A's, Brewers and Tigers. One side note: these picks CAN be traded, so it's very possible that the Marlins can have multiple picks next year's draft if they trade this year with clubs that were awarded these same picks. Picks CAN'T be traded in the offseason.
