With Wednesday’s shortened five-round right around the corner, team targets and potential picks are beginning to become clear. That being said, this is, without question, the most unpredictable draft I’ve covered. MLB front offices aren’t communicating with each other as much as they usually do. Players and their agents are less informed of their fates than we are generally accustomed to. The top-10 picks are seemingly in flux, and almost every pick from that point on is in question as well.
That being said, this mock draft is the product of eight months of industry conversations. In total, I was able to speak with 22 of the 39 players mocked in this draft.
