Draft week is finally here! We’ll have a ton of coverage for you here at Twins Daily. Here are a few important details to get you oriented to our coverage.
Despite finishing with the 14th-worst record in 2024, the Twins will pick 16th in the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft, courtesy of falling two spots in the MLB Draft Lottery. They will revert to picking 14th in all subsequent rounds. They have the 12th-largest bonus pool overall, at $12,653,000 (marginally more than 2024). This is primarily a function of their Competitive Balance Round A pick, 36th overall, which revenue-sharing recipient teams garner in either Comp Round A or Comp Round B on an annual rotation.
The Twins’ top-100 picks and slot values are as follows:
Slot value for pick 16: $4,929,600
Slot value for pick 36: $2,692,200
Slot value for pick 54: $1,761,600
Slot value for pick 88: $893,000
This combination of financial and pick flexibility puts the Twins in a strong position to work with a draft class shaping up to be uncertain in terms of top-tier talent, but with plenty of depth through around 75 picks—and interesting prep bats, in particular.
You can find our MLB Draft board here.
This is a project I’ve been working on since February. The rankings are consensus rankings, taken from leveraging all of the major draft boards in the industry. The goal is to eliminate some of the noise in rankings for casual fans looking to get more interested and get to know the class better. You’ll find the logo from the team next to their pick positions in each round, to give folks an idea of the caliber of talent available in a particular portion of the draft.
By Sunday, you’ll find a writeup for 136 player profiles, with biographical information, scouting reports, 2025 performance for college players, and potential fits. The board will be updated every day or so until day one.
Additionally, we’ll be live-streaming an episode of Destination: The Show through the entirety of Day One. We’ll get started at 5:30 PM ET/4:30 PM CT. We’ll bring you information on all the picks, live reactions, and team-specific special guests. We hope you’ll join us.
