Why cut the draft? How does this situation affect the number of players drafted at all?

This thing is stopping games and scouting but you can still draft the same number of rounds I would imagine.

AP said they were thinking of canceling draft to conserve cash due to decreased revenue, so I guess this is a compromise but with the same reasoning.

and scares me about cancellation talks , I know it has to be discussed, but just the thought alone hurts.

We gotta believe that's the last possible outcome. Nobody would want that. It would take a lot to get to that.

So cutting the draft in half would be done to save owners $$$? I’m a little confused on that part.

I'm guessing June 25.

 

Yeah I’ve been telling friends June 18th is my guess for Opening Day.

That's what it sounds like. Drafting less people means putting less money into signing the picks.

Manfred now optimistic about starting back in May which would make June Opening day which sounds great considering my mind was already thinking July.

Astros easily the team least upset about COVID-19

So the plan is to make the season even more of a crapshoot. YAY?

 

I hate the MLB administration.

I'm ok with it with two caveats:

1. ONLY this year

2. ONLY if 100 games or less can be played
