The 2020 MLB Draft being shortened to only five rounds is a detriment to countless players and baseball as a whole. As far as how it plays out for teams, the Giants are in the driver's seat.
They might not be in as good of a position as the Baltimore Orioles or Kansas City Royals, each of whom will have three selections within the top 41 picks, but San Francisco is sitting sweet going into this year's draft. Thanks to handing Will Smith and Madison Bumgarner qualifying offers before they left for new teams in free agency, the Giants now have seven picks in the five-round draft.
