MLB Draft 2020
The 2020 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft will take place on June 10–11, 2020. The draft will assign amateur baseball players to Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The draft order will be set based on the reverse order of the 2019 MLB season standings. In addition, compensation picks will be distributed for players who did not sign from the 2019 MLB draft and for teams who lose qualifying free agents. On March 26, 2020, MLB and the MLBPA reached a deal that included the option to shorten the draft to five rounds, and also shorten the 2021 draft to 20 rounds. MLB ultimately opted to shorten the 2020 draft to five rounds, in a plan that will allow teams to sign an unlimited amount of undrafted players for $20,000 each.
With the worst record in the 2019 MLB season, the Detroit Tigers will receive the first overall pick. As punishment for their role in the sign stealing scandal, the Houston Astros will forfeit their first- and second-round picks in the draft. The Boston Red Sox also forfeited their second-round pick in the draft as punishment for their own sign-stealing violations.
With sponsorship from T-Mobile, the event is officially the 2020 MLB Draft Presented by T-Mobile. For the first time since the 2008 MLB draft, ESPN will provide live coverage, in addition to the MLB Network
