The MLB draft is finally here! It’s Christmas for all you prospect sickos out there. Mock drafts are something of an exercise in futility, but Keith Law has his final one here. Who does he have the Red Sox taking? The awesomely named infielder Colt Emerson from the awesomely named John Glenn High School in Ohio. (Keith Law, The Athletic)
Unfortunately, the draft isn’t going to help the Sox find someone to start this weekend against the A’s. We’re looking at James Paxton sandwiched with two bullpen games. After last night’s game, the team announced that Brennan Bernardino would get the ball for the first of the bullpen games tonight.
