What you need to know about the draft for the Red Sox
The Red Sox are not playing on Monday, but that doesn’t mean it’s a day to not pay attention to the club. We all know the major-league roster is the focus of the organization right now (as it should be), but the lack of talent on the farm is certainly not ideal.
