SilverBullet 1,669 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 This thing is stopping games and scouting but you can still draft the same number of rounds I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfJack 1,693 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Why cut the draft? How does this situation affect the number of players drafted at all?

DTrain 99 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 So cutting the draft in half would be done to save owners $$$? I’m a little confused on that part. Link to post Share on other sites
DTrain 99 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm guessing June 25. Yeah I’ve been telling friends June 18th is my guess for Opening Day. Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 1,669 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 So cutting the draft in half would be done to save owners $$$? I’m a little confused on that part. That's what it sounds like. Drafting less people means putting less money into signing the picks. Link to post Share on other sites
