A mystery team is rumored to be considering punting their first-round pick in the MLB Draft and hoping for a compensation pick in 2021 instead.
The 2020 MLB Draft is slated to begin on Wednesday evening, and all eyes are on Anaheim.
With the 10th overall pick in the first round and no second-round pick (forfeited for signing Anthony Rendon), the Los Angeles Angels have an interesting decision to make. They stand a chance to select an impact player that could become a corner of the franchise, but as we all know, the MLB Draft is a crap-shoot and sometimes the gamble doesn’t pay off.
