The Baseball Division at BIP Wealth extends its warmest congratulations to every player selected in the 2026 MLB Draft this past weekend! We recognize that this accomplishment culminates years of hard work, sacrifice, and support from a lot of people behind the scenes, and every name called this weekend has certainly earned it.
We would also like to specifically congratulate multiple clients of the Baseball Division at BIP Wealth who were drafted this past weekend! We are honored to support you now and at every step throughout your baseball career and beyond. BIP’s 2026 draft class included several first-round picks and combined slot values for our drafted clients topped $37 million this year.
For these players, the work starts now. They’ll begin their professional baseball careers and work tirelessly to become the best players in the game. Within the next couple weeks, they’ll sign their Minor League Uniform Player Contracts, ship out to their organization’s complex facilities, complete physicals, perform media days, and put a professional baseball jersey on for the first time.
From there, they’ll start the process of working their way through the minor leagues, hopefully en route toward a big league debut—and for some, a shot at a championship. Each player will carve out their own unique path. We’re honored to help them navigate this exciting journey to fulfill a lifelong dream.
Who We Are
BIP Wealth’s Baseball Division is made up of former professional players. Our advisors have sat in the same clubhouses and faced the same questions the families we work with are facing now: what to do with a signing bonus, how to build a plan around a career that could last two years or twenty, and how to think about taxes across a schedule that changes states every few days. That perspective shapes how we work with clients from the moment NIL conversations start in college through the draft and into whatever comes after the game.
Planning Beyond Draft Day
Draft day is the headline. The work that matters happens well before and long after it—from signing bonus and cash management before a rookie season starts, to tax planning across multiple states, estate planning, to the eventual transition out of the game. We are here for every step of a player’s career.
