Okay, so the other day I was messing around with the MLB draft, right? Specifically, I was checking out who the Cubs might pick up in 2024. It’s always a bit of a guessing game, but that’s part of the fun.

First thing I did was jump online and start looking through all sorts of mock drafts. You know, those things where people try to predict who’s going where. It’s kind of like reading tea leaves, but hey, it gives you a general idea. And the Cubs, man, they’ve got some interesting choices to make.
I spent a good chunk of time digging into the top prospects. Reading up on these guys, you really get a sense of how much talent is out there. It’s crazy! And the Cubs had their first pick at number 14.
There was this one guy, Cam Smith, who kept popping up. He’s been picked by the Cubs on the 14th overall selection in this year’s MLB Draft. It seems like he is a popular choice in the mock drafts.
So, I started digging into the whole draft process. And let me tell you, it’s complicated. There are all these rules about which picks can be traded and which can’t. Apparently, the only ones you can actually trade are something called “Competitive Balance Picks.” I guess that’s to keep things somewhat fair, but it’s still a lot to wrap your head around.
- Started by looking at mock drafts to get an idea of potential picks.
- Spent time researching top prospects.
- Cam Smith stood out as a likely pick for the Cubs, and it turned out to be true.
- Delved into the rules of the MLB draft.
- Learned about Competitive Balance Picks and trade restrictions.
Anyway, after spending all this time looking into it, I’ve got a much better idea of who the Cubs might be adding to their roster in 2024. It’s exciting to think about the future of the team, and who knows, maybe one of these new guys will be the next big star. I am looking forward to what will happen next.
