As the MLB Draft draws near, the Braves’ loss of a draft pick looms large

The 2018 MLB Draft is drawing closer and closer (June 4th is just a few weeks away) and this is where things get exciting for fans of any team. More and more mock drafts are coming out and the top of the draft, at the very least, starts to come into focus. Casey Mize has long been the favorite to go #1 and guys like Joey Bart, Nick Madrigal, and Alec Bohm are settling in as very likely top 5 picks. As a result, more and more teams and their fans are starting to get a better sense of what players will be available around the time that they pick and ratcheting up their excitement accordingly.
