Other players to reach MLB

Notes
- [Compensation 1] The Elias Sports Bureau ranked players as either type-A (top 30 percent of all players), type-B (31 percent to 50 percent), or type-C (51 percent to 60 percent) players, based on the athlete's performance over the past two seasons.[3] If a type-A player became a free agent, the team that lost the type-A player would receive the first-round draft pick from the team that signed the player, as well as a "sandwich pick" between the first and second rounds. If the player is a "type-B", the team that lost him would receive a second-round pick from the team that signed the player. If the player is a "type-C", the team receives a compensation pick between the second and third rounds.[4] The Baltimore Orioles declined a contract option on type-A catcher Rick Dempsey, which made him a free agent.[5] When the Cleveland Indians signed Dempsey, they forfeited their 15th overall draft pick to the Orioles. The Orioles also received the 27th overall selection, a sandwich pick.[5]
- [Compensation 2] The Detroit Tigers received the Philadelphia Phillies first-round draft pick and a first-round sandwich pick for the loss of type-A free agent Lance Parrish.[6][7]
- [Compensation 3] The Texas Rangers received the New York Yankees first-round draft pick and a first-round sandwich pick for the loss of type-A free agent Gary Ward.[8]
- [Compensation 4] The Montreal Expos received a first-round sandwich pick and the Chicago Cubs second-round pick for the loss of type-A free agent Andre Dawson. Normally, the Cubs would have to forfeit their first-round pick to the Expos; however, since the Cubs had a top-13 draft choice, the team only had to forfeit their second-round selection.[7]
- [Compensation 5] The California Angles received a first-round sandwich pick and the Oakland Athletics second-round pick for the loss of type-A free agent Reggie Jackson. Normally, the Athletics would have to forfeit their first-round pick to the Angles; however, since the Athletics had a top-13 draft choice, the team only had to forfeit their second-round selection.[7][8]
- [Compensation 6] The Boston Red Sox received a first-round sandwich pick because they failed to sign their 1986 first round selection, Greg McMurtry.[8]
- [Compensation 7] The New York Mets received a second-round draft pick from the Baltimore Orioles for the loss of type-B free agent Ray Knight.[8]
- [Compensation 8] The Milwaukee Brewers received a second-round draft pick from the New York Yankees for the loss of type-B free agent Rick Cerone.[8]
