Texas Rangers: Is canceling the 2020 MLB Draft a possibility?

Per a report on Thursday, Major League Baseball is considering skipping the 2020 Draft as concerns about cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to increase. Ronald Blum of the Associated Press was the first to break the story that Major League Baseball was considering methods to address a drop in revenue cause by the delay in the start of the season. Along with the possibility of forgoing the 2020 Draft would be the rescheduling of the international signing period meaning the Texas Rangers, and other clubs, would not see the influx of talent that we have become accustomed to in recent years.
