Now that the All-Star Game has come and gone, there will be two days of radio silence before the 2025 MLB season recommences its march to the playoffs.

The Chicago Cubs opted for experience and upside in the 2025 MLB Draft, adding over a dozen college players to their pipeline from the draft.

The Chicago Cubs finished Day 1 of the MLB Draft on Sunday evening, making three total selections. In the first round with the 17th pick, the Cubs selected Ethan Conrad, a center fielder out of Wake Forest.

With their second-round pick, the Cubs chose Kane Kepley, a left-handed outfielder from North Carolina. At 5-foot-8, Kepley walked on at Liberty in 2023 and then transferred to North Carolina for the 2025 season. In between, he had an All-Star summer in the Cape Cod League in 2024.

MLB Insider Jon Heyman recently proposed a five-player blockbuster trade between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates including Mitch Keller and the Cubs top prospect that would fix three Cubs' issues.

The Tigers' Javy Baez and the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber were among many with good things to say about the breakout center fielder.
