Most of the top picks in this year’s draft have looked good in Summer League, but nobody had a better first game than Caleb Wilson, writes Jamal Collier of ESPN. The Bulls forward delivered 35 points and six rebounds in a loss to Memphis Friday night, posting the second-highest point total for a player in […]
The Cubs finished up the first day of the MLB Draft by selecting Northwestern State (LA) right-handed pitcher Dylan Marionneaux win the fourth round. The junior right-hander went 4-2 with a 3.51 ERA in 14 starts with the Demons of the Southland Conference. He struck out 81 and walked 18 in 84.2 innings. Marionneaux was […]
After going with power bats in with their two second-round picks, the Cubs went with big right-hander in Nebraska right-hander Carson Jasa in the third. While Jasa is a tall, 6’7” right-hander with a fastball in the 95-96 mile per hour range, what the Cubs likely found attractive are his big spin rates. In fact, […]

The White Sox added a potential cornerstone player by selecting UCLA shortstop Daniel Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft, with the toss-up between Cholowsky and prep SS Grady Emerson apparently lasting deep into Saturday morning. But that all turned out to be a ruse, as Cholowsky admitted that […]
After chasing power in the second round of the MLB Draft with Caden Sorrell, the Cubs doubled down on power with Florida State first baseman Myles Bailey with their compensation pick in the second round.

The Cincinnati Reds look to capitalize on the resurgent start from Hunter Greene on Friday that left them in position to claim the series against the Chicago Cubs with a victory on Saturday. Getting the best from lefty Nick Lodolo would go a long, long way towards making that happen. Javier Assad starts for the […]
The Thome legacy continues on the South Side, as Chicago used their newly-acquired 34th overall pick to select infielder Landon Thome, the son of White Sox legend and Hall-of-Famer, Jim Thome. In a swap on Friday evening, GM Chris Getz traded IF Jacob Gonzalez and RHP Brandon Eisert to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for […]
Go get ‘em, Javier.
The White Sox are simply addicted to middle infielders at this point, using their third selection of three so far in the draft to snag Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S. second baseman Cole Prosek with the 41st pick in the MLB draft. Prosek is a bat-first infielder who just this year started catching, which adds an […]
It’s back-to-back arms for the White Sox, winding up Day 1 of the draft by picking Eric Segura, a swingman righty out of Oregon State University with the 105th selection. This is the first lower-reaching pick the White Sox have made on the day — Segura was the 196th-ranked play on MLB’s draft board — […]
An NFL ranking of the league's top tight ends reinforces why the Chicago Bears have little incentive to trade Cole Kmet despite ongoing speculation.
With their fifth pick of the Draft, 126th overall, the Cubs selected righty Dylan Marionneaux out of Northwestern State.

The Chicago Cubs' top selection this year was Ole Miss right-hander Cade Townsend with the No. 23 overall pick.
At last, the White Sox select a non-middle infielder, adding 21-year-old righthander Joey Volchko to the 2026 draft class. Volchko originally went to Stanford before transferring to Georgia, where he has been a dominant addition to the Bulldogs starting rotation. The righty is currently listed as the 68th-best prospect via MLB’s rankings, making him the […]
Bears Bears HC Ben Johnson has been hard on his players so far this offseason, and DE Montez Sweat spoke about his experience with Johnson as a coach. “I don’t think there’s any way you can cut corners and expect to win on Sundays,” Johnson said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “Training camp’s a big part […] The post NFC Notes: Ben Johnson, Daniel Whelan, Bears, Lions, Packers appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
With their fourth pick in the 2026 Draft, the Cubs took big righty Carson Jasa out of Nebraska. He took a big step forward as the Huskers’ ace this season, but his mid-90s fastball needs some work to get outs in the professional ranks. We’ll have a more thorough breakdown of the day’s picks later. The post Cubs Take RHP Carson Jasa with 98th Pick appeared first on .
After grabbing Mississippi right-hander Cade Townsend in the first round, the Cubs stayed in the SEC in the second round, grabbing one of the best available power hitters in Texas A&M outfielder Caden Sorrell Sorrell was one of the better college power hitters last year, hitting 23 home runs for the Aggies, which tied for […]

Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (48-44) put up 14 hits against 10 from the Sounds (53-29), but Charlotte somehow scored just two runs, losing their third game of the series, 4-2. Seriously, it feels like you would have to try not to score if you have that many hits, but as we’ve learned […]
Historically speaking, the White Sox haven’t generated much value from their second-round picks. Terry Forster massed 20.4 WAR over his playing career, including 12 with the White Sox, and you have to go down to Jake Petricka and his 1.8 WAR to find the next player who can say the same. Jeff Weaver and Johnny… The post White Sox select Cole Prosek in second round of 2026 MLB draft appeared first on Sox Machine .
Once again, the White Sox offense was almost nonexistent against a decent but unspectacular lefty starter. The key point, though, is the “almost.” The Sox only managed five hits against Gage Jump and two (Sacramento?) relievers and only drew two walks and struck out 11 times, but fortunately one of the walks came before one […]
