Episode 379: Red Sox 2024 Draft Preview

Derrik, Hunter and Jake are back with a special MiLB Talk edition where they preview the 2024 MLB draft for the Red Sox. The draft starts on July 14 with the first two rounds, where the Red Sox will pick 12th and 50th overall. How will the Red Sox utilize their picks and the $10.5 million bonus pool for their 20 picks? The guys break down possible strategies for the picks and who they might select with the 12th pick. Will someone unexpectedly fall out of the Top 10 like last year? Or will they already have a deal with someone? We explore possible picks such as Nick Kurtz, Vance Honeycutt, Christian Moore, Trey Yesavage, James Tibbs, Cam Smith, Cam Caminiti and more. Plus, will the team’s draft strategy be different under Craig Breslow? In the regular portion of the show there’s chatter about Mickey Gasper and his awesome mustache, Jake’s trip to see a bit of an odd Sea Dogs game in Manchester, a huge week for Allan Castro, the first High-A homer for Miguel Bleis, and a great week for both Salem pitchers and the great Albert “Big Al” Feliz. Plus the guys talk about Marcelo Mayer and Kyle Teel getting selected to the Futures Game, as well as Roman Anthony playing in the new Skills Showcase. Following some brief Dalvinson Reyes praise in the FCL/DSL Minute, it’s onto a special draft edition of Guess the Prospect.
