The 2020 MLS SuperDraft is just around the corner, with the first and second rounds on Thursday followed by the third and fourth rounds next Monday, Jan. 13.
Currently holding the No. 58 overall pick in the third round and the No. 84 pick in the fourth round, Sporting Kansas City will watch Thursday’s draft activities come and go—barring any sort of transaction that sees Manager Peter Vermes’ side move up in the pecking order.
Given their position, Sporting will hope to orchestrate a late-draft steal—finding that overlooked player who can ultimately develop into a first-team contributor.
