The 2019 MLB Draft is drawing nearer. It begins on June 3rd, which is just a week from today. Yikes. That snuck up on us in a hurry.
It’s pretty clear at this point that Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel aren’t going to be signed until after the draft, so the final draft order is essentially set in stone. Since the Red Sox went more than $40 million over the luxury tax threshold they will drop ten slots in the draft down to 43rd.
That’s right, the Red Sox first pick will be in the second round.
