Major League Baseball will hold its 2020 amateur draft Wednesday and Thursday with the Cubs picking at No. 16 when the action begins at 6pm CT. In a season clouded over by the pandemic stoppage and thrown into further doubt by financial unrest, this is the only light baseball fans have seen in a long time. It might not be as bright as usual, but we’ll gladly take what we can get at this point.
Over the last four months, Cubs Insider has previewed several different players and strategies the Cubs could take in the early rounds. We even did a full five-round mock draft two weeks ago.
