An exceptional MLB Draft, deeper in talent than has been seen in years, is poised to deliver the Tigers an extraordinary player when Detroit chooses at the third-overall slot.
Three players who would head nearly any other year’s MLB Draft are bunched in a tense race to see who lands first with the Pirates when Commissioner Rob Manfred makes the initial call shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday.
The Tigers are expected to choose either of two highly touted college outfielders – Wyatt Langford from the University of Florida, or as appears increasingly likely, Dylan Crews from Louisiana State.
