MLB Draft rumors continue to swirl, and the latest 2021 mock draft from Baseball America tries to make some sense of the varying rumors and stories. While Jim Callis said in his latest mock draft the Texas Rangers seem to have Dallas Jesuit shortstop Jordan Lawlar on the “back burner,” BA has the Rangers taking Lawlar with their pick at #2, just as Keith Law did in his most recent mock draft.
Its hard to get a good handle on where things stand right now — BA says the Pittsburgh Pirates are still considering several players with the #1 pick, including Marcelo Mayer, the California prep shortstop who they have mocked to Pittsburgh in this version.
