Jeff Passan says he's heard that the 2021 draft will be based upon the results of this year. This would be a huge development for the Red Sox who could end up with the #2 pick by the end of the week. They currently have the 3rd worst record but are only 1 game behind Texas for the #2 pick. The top 2 picks figure to be Vanderbilt pitchers Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter(son of Al).

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29940841/passan-final-week-mlb-never-seen-beforeWhile MLB has yet to announce whether teams' 2020 records will determine draft order, a source familiar with the league's thinking said that the clause written into MLB's March agreement with the players' association that gave the league the right to determine draft order was a contingency in case the season was canceled well before records were indicative of much. Even though 60 games doesn't give the full picture of who's really good and who isn't, the source said it's highly likely that the draft order will be determined by this year's record.
