Episode 437: Major changes to the Major League Baseball draft system could be on the horizon with the new CBA.
The league is deciding whether to include new draft eligibility rules that would cut out all high school players from being drafted. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler break down the pros and cons of such a radical change, the ramifications it would have across Minor League Baseball, and the substantial boost college baseball would receive if it happens.
The guys dive deep into the draft with one of the best interviews in Baseball is Dead history. Projected top-5 pick Jackson Flora joins the show for a great conversation about his draft process, his favorite team growing up, and an all-time answer to the show’s patented final question for guests.
The crew also discusses Tarik Skubal’s return from injury and what his trade sweepstakes look like with just a few weeks left before the deadline. They also break down the most polarizing player in baseball right now: Dalton Rushing.
Dive deep with Baseball is Dead and get ready for another loaded weekend of baseball action.
