Although I still miss when the MLB Draft was in June, giving it PLENTY of distance from the MLB Trade Deadline (and thus giving front offices six+ weeks to focus fully on trade season, rather than just two), I still will take any maneuvering that gives it a little space from the All-Star festivities. It was a nice thought to bring the events together to try to maximize national attention, but in practice it wound up just making everything feel overcrowded.
So, MLB is making a very modest tweak to the draft schedule next year as part of their new national broadcast deals:

— MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) November 19, 2025So, we know now that the first day of the draft will move to Saturday, which is a very smart change, and then the Futures Game will return to Sunday. Also a smart change.
The question from here is whether day one will involve multiple rounds, and, after that, when day two will be (Monday?) … and whether there will be a day three. These things weren’t included in the announcement, and Baseball America suggests the details are still being fully sorted out. But it’s a start!
The Cubs are very likely to be picking 23rd overall in the first round next year, though there is a very small chance that spot could move slightly.
