The MLB Draft will begin NEXT WEEK, from June 3rd-5th. We’ve got oodles of coverage for you, which you can find in our MLB Draft 2019 section!

Sometimes drafts that look great at the time pan out as expected. Sometimes... they do not.
2016 was the first year Jerry Dipoto got his twitchy fingers into the Mariners’ farm system dirt, and three years later, half the players we signed in the draft are still in the system.
