Could Brendan Rodgers be there for Houston at 1-2?
You know those dream scenarios that had the Astros taking high school shortstop Brendan Rodgers with the second overall pick? They only happen if the Arizona Diamondbacks somehow decide to pass on the player who's quickly grabbing the title of top talent in this draft.
Fortunately, it appears that's exactly what the D'Backs plan to do. Kiley McDaniel tweeted on Monday that Arizona wants to reach a below-slot deal with some player.
