The draft isn’t the monster it was just a couple of years ago, going down to 20 picks this year, but there are still 15 more rounds than there were a year ago. It’s a lot of players to keep track of, and we are here to make things a little easier for everyone to follow. This is your Red Sox Draft Tracker for 2021, where we’ll be keeping track of every player the Red Sox select, and their signing status after being drafted. We’ll have this pinned on the front page right below the top for the foreseeable future as we wait for news with all the players signing (or not). You can also consider this your space to chat about anything generally related to the draft.
We’ll be constantly updating this post throughout the draft, including links to anything related to Red Sox selections. The table below will also be updated as each pick comes through. Note that for age, that reflects a player’s age on July 1 of this year.
4th Round: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz
