SF Giants have a ‘big advantage’ in the 2020 MLB Draft
The SF Giants will have a so-called “big advantage” in the 2020 MLB Draft.
The SF Giants and the rest of the MLB world will have to adapt to what promises to be an MLB Draft like no other before. In just a few days, the 2020 MLB Draft will take place, but it will be in a very different format than we all are used to.
And perhaps the biggest change of all will come with the reduction from 40 rounds to just five. In what is normally a forgiving system designed to give teams plenty of chances to land the right prospects, organizations will only have five chances to make the correct moves.
The SF Giants will have two more draft picks than most teams.
Or in the Giants case, they’ll have seven.
