Reply to "MLBPA Announces 5 Round Draft"

Longenhagen said in the podcast that bonus pools in the draft won't increase the next 3 years. He also thinks that mlb could use that to permanently contract the draft. 

It won't stay 5 rounds hopefully but mlb wanted to contract the minors and safe money on this for a long time and this is the perfect opportunity.

Really amateur players have no leverage here except when they are multi sports guys like murray and MLB is using this.

The union won't help amateurs and minor leaguers either, if anything they will sell them as a bargaining chip because they have so little leverage against the owners.
