2 day event in 2025. Sunday and Monday. They did Rounds 1-3 on Sunday, and 4-20 all day Monday...I believe 12 EST until the draft was done.

So this will be the 2nd year for a 2 day draft.

Anyways...I don't like NBC getting anything baseball...or sports for that matter. Sports are my escape, they seem to like to mess with my escape in a one way or another...I'll probably being muting their coverage of games
