While we wait to see whether MLB and the MLBPA can put aside their petulance and give us a 2020 season, we do have some real baseball happenings this week. The 2020 MLB Draft will take place, with the first round starting at 6 p.m. CT on Wednesday and airing on MLB Network and ESPN. The Houston Astros, however, won’t be featured.
As a result of the notorious sign stealing scandal, the Astros forfeited their first and second round picks in both this year’s draft and next year’s. So their first pick this season will come at No.
