Pittsburgh Pirates could see the 2020 Draft Cancelled

The Major League Baseball season has come to halt due to COVID-19 virus. This is not breaking news; the Pittsburgh Pirates and the rest of Major League Baseball have been shut down for the foreseeable future, with Opening Day possibly be pushed back to as late as June or July.

However, the suspended season is not the only thing in jeopardy of not happening. In fact, something that may be just as important to the Pittsburgh Pirates might not be happening either. Major League Baseball is considering not holding the draft this year because of the circumstances at hand.
