Hi All,
The trade deadline for 2020 will be August 31st at 4pm EST. Any trades posted after that time will take effect for the 2021 season.
Due to the shortened 5 round MLB amateur draft and lack of minor league season, we will be modifying the 2020 pro-gm amateur draft to be only 4 rounds. Any traded 2020 draft picks from rounds 5-8 will become 2021 draft picks instead.
Time and date of the draft are still TBD, as we haven't yet decided whether to hold the draft in-season or during the off-season in lieu of free agency since contracts will be rolling forward to 2021. Any opinions on whether you'd prefer an in-season or off-season draft are welcome in the comments.
