The MLB Draft begins Sunday night, and it will be Jed Hoyer’s fifth as the Cubs’ president of baseball operations. They have the 17th pick, described by VP of scouting Dan Kantrovitz as a “sweet spot” in this year’s draft. They also have picks 56 and 90 on Day 1, which includes the first three rounds.
There are a multitude of directions the Cubs could take on Sunday night with their selections, but we’re focused for now on some of their options for the first choice.
