MLB suggests major draft reforms
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 proposal aims to promote college development and integrate more college-aged players into the draft process, while also introducing a 12-round international draft and allowing teams to trade first-round picks for the first time since 1965. The union is expected to oppose these changes.
