How Red Sox Came Crushingly Close To Landing No. 1 Pick In 2023 MLB Draft
Boston Red Sox own the 14th pick in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft. Pittsburgh Pirates won the lottery. Washington Nationals, Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, and Oakland Athletics are the other teams in top six. The remaining teams will pick based on reverse order of their 2022 records. The pingpong balls bounced Tuesday.
The 11-8-10 code combination ensured many teams still had a chance at the No. 1 pick. Pittsburgh won the draft with a two-ball. Boston had the 24th overall pick in 2022 and picked Mikey Romero. In 2021, Boston owned the 4th pick and scooped up shortstop Marcelo Mayer.
