The Chicago White Sox are relying on the 2025 MLB Draft as their primary means of acquiring elite talent. Limited trade assets and ownership's reluctance to engage in high-value free agent contracts constrain the team's options. The pressure is on GM Chris Getz and amateur scouting director Mike Shirley to secure impactful players, especially after a poor season. Promising returns from previous draft picks indicate potential improvement. However, the need for position players in the farm system is critical, and success in this draft is essential for the team's competitiveness by 2027.
"The Chicago White Sox need to hit in the 2025 MLB Draft. The draft is starting to become the only path the club has to acquire elite talent."
"If they don't get an exciting player in the draft as a result, it will all be for nothing. Chicago has a huge need for position players in the farm system."
