White Sox eye top trio for 2026 No. 1 pick
The White Sox are deciding the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft between UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, Texas prep shortstop Grady Emerson, and Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey. Emerson and Cholowsky are seen as coin-flip top contenders (with Emerson favored by some for age and hitting), Cholowsky as the most polished college shortstop in years, and Lackey offering elite defense and a high floor. The club selects at 1:00 PM EST on Saturday.
