With the 2020 MLB Draft being only five rounds instead of the usual 40, there are roughly 1,000 prospects who would've gotten drafted under the new rules who were left looking for teams.
For all players who sign as undrafted free agents, the bonus limit per player is $20,000
It should be expected that many college seniors and college juniors will sign. It's not out of the question that some younger college players and/or high school players will sign, but the bulk of the signees will likely be older college players due to the fact that their options are limited.
Here are the players the Mets have signed so far...

The University of Tennessee announced that right-handed pitcher Kody Davidson has signed with the Mets.
The 5-foot-9 junior from South Fulton, Tenn. pitched 5.1 innings this season prior to the coronavirus pandemic stopping play, striking out eight and allowing just three hits.
