C HICAGO –– The White Sox wrapped up the 2025 MLB Draft on Monday with their 20th selection. The draft class features nine pitchers (eight right-handers and one left-hander), four outfielders, five infielders and two catchers.

On Monday, Sportsnaut's Matt Johnson predicted that the Mets would acquire Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, who is in the final year of a $50 million extension and has $20M club options for 2026 and 2027.

The White Sox began their second day of selections in the 2025 MLB Draft on Monday morning after taking three position players (including two high school players) on Day 1. Shortstop Billy Carlson out of Corona High School in California was their top pick at No.

Shane Smith has been hard on himself lately after not performing to his standards. But being selected to the 2025 MLB All-Star game helped put things in perspective for the rookie, who the White Sox took in the Rule 5 Draft.

CBS News Chicago recently profiled Fauske, the Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year. He was coached by Hall of Famer Jim Thome and grew up a Sox fan.

The 18-year-old Carlson is the third shortstop the Sox have selected with a first-round pick in the last five years.
