Everything about baseball is so out of whack right now that it’s hard to focus on any one abnormality at a time. Sunday was a particularly strange day, though. As it seemed like negotiations for the 2020 season were coming to a halt with players stopping talks, teams were in action trying to sign players who were not selected in last week’s joke of a five-round draft. As a quick reminder, anyone who was not drafted was eligible to sign as early as 9:00 AM on Sunday and could only sign for a maximum signing bonus of $20,000. Given that the NCAA has allowed all players, including seniors, come back for another year of eligibility next season there was no class of player who had to sign now.
