The contraction of teams was being discussed and the virus might move it along somewhat, but there are still going to be a lot of minor league players sitting around if there are no minor league seasons and teams will have to decide which of these guys it wants to retain.
As for the draft, I think it's always been somewhat of a crapshoot seeing high school and college teams won't be playing this spring, so I'm guessing it will be five rounds of guys on whom there are the most comprehensive reports, likely meaning lots of college guys. Anyone that viewed themselves as a late-riser is probably heading to college or JC.
