Also, players under contract, I would guess, simply would lose compensation for 2020 but advance a year in the contract. For example, Freddie Freeman would not his $22M for 2020, but would start 2021 as the last year of his contract with a value of $22M before becoming a FA. Guys like Ozuna, Hamels, Melancon just go back into the FA pool? Do teams that lost draft compensation for signing FA, get those picks back or they just out of luck? My guess is the latter.
