With the New York Yankees selecting just three players during the 2020 MLB Draft, they’ve been forced to scour the free-agent market for undrafted players.
As a result of COVID-19, this year’s draft was limited to just five rounds and players who went undrafted are only allowed to sign for a maximum of $20,000. Nevertheless, the Yankees have been able to sign five pitchers since the signing period opened on Sunday.
