MLB Twitter reacts to the Athletics drafting Myles Naylor: "He Belongs in Cleveland"
The MLB-related saga of the last Naylor brother has started. The brother of Josh and Bo Naylor, Myles Naylor was chosen by the Oakland Athletics as the 39th overall pick.
He will follow in their footsteps, perhaps making his way to the major leagues. He has become the first Canadian to be taken in the 2023 MLB draft.
Canadian 3B Myles Naylor selected selected at No. 39 overall by the Oakland Athletics. He's the younger brother of Josh, picked 12th overall in 2015, and Bo, taken 29th overall in 2018. Pretty incredible.
