Ronald Blum of The Associated Press reported on Wednesday evening that Major League Baseball is considering canceling the entire 2020 MLB Amateur Draft in June due to concerns over the coronavirus. Tentatively, the Colorado Rockies would have the 9th overall pick in the draft but if the draft is canceled, the potential order could see some changes.
The draft was moved from MLB Network’s studios in New Jersey to Omaha, Nebraska this year because Omaha is the site of the College World Series each year. However, the event was already canceled.
But that is not even close to being the entire story as there are numerous things of note in the column.
