MLB Considering Cancellation of 2020 Amateur Draft

While there has not been much activity surrounding the Dodgers in recent days, an interesting development occurred this week with regards to MLB’s 2020 amateur draft—the powers that be are considering cancelling the event altogether.

Ronald Blum of the Associated Press was among the first to report the news on Wednesday.

Specifically, Blum stated that “Major League Baseball is considering skipping its amateur draft this year and putting off the next international signing period as a way to preserve cash while games are affected by the new coronavirus.”

Indeed, teams are in jeopardy of losing TONS of money regardless of how long the regular season turns out to be.
