Two days ago it was announced what pick in the Competitive Balance Round the Pittsburgh Pirates would have for the 2020 Draft. Every year, the 14 teams with the lowest winning percentage, market score and revenue earnings are awarded an extra draft pick to help with “competitive balance” in the league, at leas it’s supposed too.
This year the Pittsburgh Pirates were awarded one of the highest Competitive Balance picks they have received at 32nd overall. They actually have the second pick in the Competitive Balance A round with just the Baltimore Orioles picking in front of them.
