The 2020 MLB Draft has already been shortened from 40 rounds to five as the league looks to save money at every turn while also starving Minor League Baseball prior to cutting 42 of its affiliates. The massive reduction in draft picks makes each selection that much more valuable, though R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports reported that one team with a top-10 pick might intentionally punt it away.
Though Anderson did not name the team in question, overwhelming speculation is that the Angels have at least considered the option of wasting their No.
