The Chicago White Sox face limitations due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which restricts them to the 10th overall pick in the upcoming MLB Draft despite a poor 41-121 record last season. Their situation stems from having drafted fifth overall in 2024. However, the 2026 draft is anticipated to be exceptionally strong, featuring top-tier high school talent. While the White Sox miss out on lottery opportunities, their position in 2026 could yield a generational player, positioning them favorably for the future amid their multi-year rebuild.
The 2026 high school class is one of the most loaded classes we have ever seen, with multiple shortstops who could go number one overall in the MLB Draft.
The updated CBA rules are debilitating for teams like the White Sox, who are in a multi-year rebuild and now have limited draft pick potential.
