The 2020 MLB Draft will take place from June 10-11 and will feature only five rounds.
The New York Yankees have been preparing for this year’s edition of the MLB Draft, but under much different circumstances. The 2020 installation will feature just five rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically, the annual event sees over 1,200 players get drafted, but we’ll only see 160 this time around, with the rest signing as undrafted free agents (for just $20K).
