The first night of coverage will span the first 37 picks, covering the first round and Competitive Balance Round A. Coverage continues on Thursday, June 11 on MLB Network and ESPN2 at 5 p.m. ET and will pick up with the start of the second round (pick No. 38) and run through the end of the fifth and final round of this year’s Draft. There will be a total of 160 picks in the 2020 Draft.The Draft usually runs 40 rounds but was shortened this year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The @Twins have the 27th pick in the 1st round and the 69th overall pick in the 2nd round. They do not get any compensation picks and actually allowed the Braves to get one because of the #BringerOfRain signing. Atlanta then signed Marvell Ozuna so that compensation pick now goes to St. Louis. After the Compensation B picks, the #MNTwins will select 27th in the next 3 rounds of the 5-round draft!
