White Sox Draft Top Pick to Revive Franchise | MLB News
Description
The White Sox, fresh off a brutal 102-loss season, hold the top pick in this year’s MLB draft — a golden chance to land a future star and end their World Series drought since 2005. With no clear-cut top prospect like Bryce Harper in 2010, they’re eyeing three elite talents: UCLA’s Roch Cholowsky, Texas high school phenom Grady Emerson, or Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey — likely favoring the college-ready Cholowsky for quicker impact. The draft also features a wave of legacy kids — including Landon Thome (son of Jim Thome) and Carsten Sabathia III (son of CC Sabathia) — as MLB considers major reforms: cutting the draft to 12 rounds starting in 2027 and raising the amateur age limit to 20 by 2028. All eyes are on Philadelphia this Saturday — where the White Sox could rewrite their franchise’s future.
