Starpower awaits. Baseball America’s 2018 Breakout Prospect of the Year, Wander Franco, makes the cut, as does two-way standout Brendan McKay. All three of the Rays’ top draft picks taken within the first 32 picks — Matthew Liberatore, Shane McClanahan and Nick Schnell — are listed on the roster as well.
