Third (2020) Baseball Draft season

The **Third (2020) Baseball Draft season** was the third season of the Baseball Draft.

It marked a major difference from preceding seasons by opening up the draft pool. Previously, GMs could only select players from a designated franchise at the top of each round-- this season allowed GMs the free-for-all to draft any player, from any franchise, provided they played between 1885-present day. Players also could not be selected more than once, with the exception of Babe Ruth who could be picked separately as a batter and a pitcher (similar to Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars Drafts).

It featured other Draft milestones as well-- first, the scourge of the DAVID-19 pandemic, which forced teams to quarantine in Florida for most of Aproids & Maeby. Second, the creation of the Spencer Report, outlining the use of bullshit guys like Shane ass Spencer. As a result, this season would be the last to use WhatIfSports as its simulator before switching to Out of the Park Baseball. And third, it began the "Franchise Era" where GMs could begin planning to keep players and assets to roll over into the Fourth Draft.

The season culminated in Lloyd's A Shaq of Their Own winning the World Series in 6 games against the stone temple seattle pilots of tom, despite them fielding the near-unanimous MVP ~~Steph Curry~~ Jocko Milligan.
