## Resource

White Sox Director of Amateur Scouting Mike Shirley opens the podcast by discussing how the organization is approaching the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, what they're looking for, and what goes into making the decision. Then, Chuck Garfien is joined by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo to break down the latest buzz surrounding the race between Roch Cholowsky and Grady Emerson, where each could fit with the White Sox, whether Jim Thome's son, Landon Thome, could be a second-round option, and more.
