Now that the dust has settled on the MLB Draft, Stephen and Keith dive into how it all played out. They discuss the Pirates approach, going for high risk - high reward starter Paul Skenes. How did that impact the rest of the top 5? The Athletics stretch to take Jacob Wilson, which was both surprising and predictable. The guys then take their picks of what clubs had the best and worst overall drafts.

Finally, the guys discuss the Futures Game and everything that is wrong with it in it's current setup.
