Kiley McDaniel projects SS Jacob Gonzalez to Athletics in latest mock draft

The 2023 MLB Draft will get underway on Sunday and the Oakland Athletics have the No. 6 pick in the first round. Most projections have had the A’s going with a college hitter with their first pick and ESPN.com’s Kiley McDaniel sticks with that trend projecting them to land Ole Miss shortstop Jacob Gonzalez.

I’m hearing mostly slot-or-below college position players. I think both Clark and Jenkins would be over slot if they got here and I don’t have a good feeling that Oakland wants to do that if given the chance.
