Major League Baseball front offices face some unusual obstacles in preparing for this year's draft with college and high school games shelved because of the coronavirus. What the picking will look like still isn’t clear, but it may be as short as five rounds, and a cap on bonus payments to undrafted players could affect whether prospects sign.
