The 2026 MLB draft is upcoming, with Grady Emerson, Roch Cholowsky, and Vahn Lackey considered top prospects. There is uncertainty over who the White Sox will select with the first overall pick, with each of these players having a case for being chosen. However, one outlet is reporting that Grady Emerson was selected by the Rays with the second overall pick, which may indicate the White Sox did not choose him, but this outcome is not confirmed across all reports.
