Minor leagues like the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers could see less drafted prospects come to their team as a result of Major League Baseball making significant adjustments to its upcoming draft.

MLB has decided to cut its draft down from 40 rounds to just five when it takes place this June. It is one of many cost-cutting maneuvers the league is making as it adjusts to life in a COVID-19 world. According to ESPN, teams will be allowed teams to sign an unlimited number of undrafted players so they can fill out their rosters across their minor league affiliates. Playing into the decision is MLB's plan to cut nearly a quarter of its MiLB franchises, possibly including in-state teams like the Beloit Snappers. and Brewers affiliates like the Rocky Mountain Vibes.
