The Royals still have a lot of work to do to improve a farm system generally ranked near the bottom of the league by most observers. But they have an opportunity to infuse the organization with talent with the MLB draft this weekend.
When is the 2025 MLB draft?
The draft is being compressed down to two days, after taking place over three days last year. The first three rounds of the 2025 MLB draft will take place on Sunday, July 13 at 5 p.m. CT, broadcast live from Atlanta on ESPN and MLB Network. Rounds 4-20 will take place on Monday, July 14, beginning at 10:30 a.
