Time will tell.
MLB players are not going to miss part of a season unless no one wants them. You aren't getting a bigger payday later on, teams will just build their 40-man roster and move on.

With draft picks, you've got that possibility of going to college, or back to college if you are a JR, so they have more leverage to make the team who drafted them sweat.

Its not completely unprecedented for a SR to go to independent ball, but we've seen that end up being a stupid move the few times its ever been done.
