While fans of other teams turn their eyes to the postseason, Mariners fans and our fellow cellar-dwellers instead must get our kicks by taking a longer view, all the way into next June and the 2020 MLB Draft. Luckily Baseball America is here to feed our need to dream on the future, with a “way too early” mock draft of the top ten spots. Of note: BA cautions this is more of a “thought experiment” than a true mock draft, which are usually built with actual insider info from scouts and front offices or even just observing which scouts continually turn up at whose games.
