In addition to Major League Baseball shortening the 2020 Draft to just five rounds, teams are being given the opportunity to sign as many undrafted players as they would please. Each may receive up to $20,000, with the process beginning Sunday morning at 6 a.m. PT.
“We’re going to try and turn over every stone,” Dodgers vice president of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino said after the 2020 MLB Draft was completed. Gasparino added he is uncertain of how receptive undrafted players will be to signing with clubs as opposed to returning to school.
There presumably will be some interest, as MLB will first screen those who applied for the Draft.
