The 2020 MLB Draft is here, giving some much-needed baseball content to a sports-starved American audience. There’s yet to be an actual game played because of the coronavirus outbreak, but Major League Baseball has been buzzing behind the scenes with the draft coming up while negotiations continue over how the league could safely return while adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines. The Draft is scheduled to air on ESPN and MLB Network Wednesday night. If you don’t have cable, you can sign up for a free trial with Sling or Hulu + Live TV. The Sling trial is for three days while the Hulu + Live TV trial runs for seven days.
