Summary
The A’s just got a massive boost in the MLB Draft, snagging top-7 prospect Drew Burress with the eighth pick. A power-hitting, arm-strength dynamo from Georgia Tech, Burress mashed 60 homers in three seasons and brings elite tools and leadership potential. With a loaded outfield already featuring Soderstrom, Bolte, and Butler, the A’s are building depth and firepower — and they’re ready to make tough calls to get the best bats in the lineup. With Devin Taylor and others in the pipeline, this is a core in the making as they gear up for life in Las Vegas.
