Milwaukee Milkmen make six selections in American Association player dispersal draft

The American Association of Independent Professional Baseball held their player dispersal draft yesterday afternoon, allowing the six clubs that will be participating in the shortened, hub-based 2020 regular season — the Milwaukee Milkmen, Chicago Dogs, Winnipeg Goldeye, St. Paul Saints, Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, and Sioux Falls Canaries — to select players from the rosters of non-participating clubs in order to allow the league’s top talent a chance to compete this summer. Our local Milkmen held the first overall pick in the draft (and the first pick in every subsequent round) and with uncertainty surrounding the status of international players due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, there were plenty of different directions that the south side indy ball nine could have gone with their selections.
