Cubs Video
The 2025 MLB Draft will again feature just 20 rounds, but there has been a format change. After downsizing from a two-day, 40-round draft to a three-day, 20-round draft, Major League Baseball has now gone to a two-day, 20-round draft.
The first three rounds (which is a round longer than before) will happen later today, beginning at 5 p.m. You can catch it live on MLB Network and ESPN. The Destination: The Show crew would like to invite you to join us live as we cover the entirety of the first three rounds.
The last 17 rounds will take place tomorrow beginning at 10:30 a.m. There hasn't been a 17-round draft day in a while, but rest assured — there used to be 20-round days, so North Side Baseball will have the capacity to cover the duration.
The Cubs will make three selections on Day One.
17th overall (1st round)
56th overall (2nd round)
90th overall (3rd round)
The Cubs will have the 9th-smallest bonus pool ($9,636,800) in baseball. Of course, they have exceeded their pool and gone into the tax every year since the current rules were put in place.
Once again, North Side Baseball will feature the Cubs Draft Tracker, which will be kept up-to-date not only during the draft but through the entire signing period. So keep coming back for updates!
