Major League Baseball starting on Wednesday will hold its 2020 first-year player draft. This year's edition will be limited to five rounds instead of the usual 40 as a cost-saving measure, and that's thanks to a negotiated agreement between MLB and the MLB Players Association. The draft had originally been scheduled for June, to be held in Omaha alongside the College World Series, but the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to those plans.

Previously, we've ranked the top 25 position players, the top 25 pitchers, and the top 50 overall prospects in this year's class. We've also covered the most polarizing prospects in the class, and explained why someone from this year's class might make their professional debut in the Show. Most fundamentally, here's the draft order for all five rounds. 

If you peruse that draft order you may notice a curious absence or two. Specifically, the Astros and Red Sox have lost draft picks this year because of their respective sign-stealing scandals. 

On Jan. 13, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred handed down punishments for the Astros, who were found to have been illegally stealing signs using monitors and a trash can "banging scheme" to let hitters know when something other than a fastball was on the way. MLB's investigation found that the Astros used the scheme during the 2017 regular season, 2017 postseason, and 2018 regular season. Among their sanctions was the loss of the first- and second-round draft picks in both 2020 and 2021. 

In April, Manfred concluded his investigation into the Red Sox's sign-stealing during 2018. The Red Sox's offenses were deemed much less serious and much less expansive than Houston's, and Manfred in essence pinned the entire scheme on a single team replay operator, who was banned through the 2020 season. As well, Manfred ruled that the Red Sox would forfeit their second-round pick in this year's draft.
