The Pittsburgh Pirates finished up their 2020 Draft class late last night when they made their 5th and final round pick. So how did the draft shake out?
When the league changed the Draft to 5 rounds this year it changed a lot of team’s draft plans including the Pittsburgh Pirates. There would not be those later rounds for teams to cut deals high upside players who slid down the board. or the later round gems who may not ever get a chance. On top of that, undrafted free agents can only receive $20,000 maximum, so once again limiting team’s and player’s opportunities.
