CHICAGO –– A key part of the White Sox ongoing rebuild takes place Sunday and Monday with the MLB Draft. General manager Chris Getz and company will make their first selection at No. 10 overall, followed by a second-round pick at No. 44.

Recent drafts have seen the White Sox acquire three of their top five prospects –– Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith and Colson Montgomery –– in the first round, as well as No. 6 prospect Grant Taylor in the second round of the 2023 draft.

For White Sox director of amateur scouting Mike Shirley, part of the equation on draft day is whether to take a player that fits the White Sox positional needs, or the best player available.

"Today, when you look at the draft as a whole, we're looking at need, we're looking at it as a whole, but we're also looking at the best player," Shirley said Thursday in Chicago. "There's so much information that's available to you in the draft room. Sports science is in there. You can't beat the science of what the game's providing today. So you have to look at all that. We also have people that really have gut feels on players. That's where my instincts lie. I'm starting to tighten that board up in there really tight. It's just hard for me when I'm standing there, my gut tells me that player's better than that player. And so you're still trying to build off what the best player is."

Here's more information on the draft.
