With Major League Baseball working out the logistics of a season with an undetermined start date, one lingering question has been what to do about the 2020 amateur draft.
Originally scheduled for June, there has been uncertainty over whether it still made sense to conduct the draft, considering scouts have been grounded during prime scouting season, amateur leagues have been shutdown, and public safety remains a top concern in preparing for events with large gatherings of people.
However, with the logistics of canceling the draft perhaps even more complicated, MLB and the Players Association have agreed on a framework to hold the draft sometime in July, per Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.
