The MLB Draft is set to kick off Sunday July 17th and it will be a big day for the baseball program in Oxford, MS. There are a number of scenarios in play that could deplete the Rebels 2023 roster or bolster it for another title run.
Tim Elko is out of eligibility and his fate is in the hands of the MLB GMs. The biggest advantage for Elko is the addition of the universal DH, allowing for National League clubs to be more comfortable with drafting guys who just rake. Elko will be playing for someone in August, drafted or not.
