While the Cincinnati Reds will surely have their focus on thumping the San Diego Padres tonight in lieu of their recent sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers, there’ll be eyes from both the front office and the fans on something perhaps of more importance to the team’s overall future. The MLB Draft begins tonight at 7 PM ET, and since the Reds will be picking 2nd overall, they’ll have a chance to add another elite prospect to the future of the franchise.
Much like last year when the Philadelphia Phillies shook things up by taking Mickey Moniak 1st overall, there’s not yet a consensus on what the Minnesota Twins will do this year with the #1 pick.
