Major League Baseball has proposed a significant overhaul of the amateur draft, set to begin in 2028. The changes would eliminate high school players from immediate drafting, require players to be at least 20 years old by September 1 of their draft year, and reduce the draft from 20 to 12 rounds with a $200 million pool.

The union is expected to oppose these changes.
