The MLBPA's Draft Proposal: A Battle for Competitive Balance in Baseball The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) has proposed preserving the current system of the domestic draft, a move that could have significant implications for professional baseball.
At its core, this dispute is about competitive balance – or rather, the lack thereof in Major League Baseball.
The MLBPA's proposal seeks to maintain the current system of draft eligibility for high school and junior college players, while also opening up more doors to younger players from four year universities.
