None of those Mune related revenue have been finalized as Japanese corporate sponsors await his long-term destination. TV ratings in Japan and Sox merchandising are largely shared revenues across all thirty teams, except for those sold through the ballpark/team store.

Is it because of NIL?Will Adams, a first baseman and corner outfielder out of high school in Alabama, was projected to go as high as the second round. He fell to the Tigers in the 11th round.

Will Ferrell was not in his best form last night for whatever reason...

What are mlb tv rankings in England France Germany Italy and Spain? You have to consider also the massive crossover success of those five European leagues, in particular the EPL as well as best Spanish and French teams...it's not just a simple 1/1 comparison with MLS or even NHL. And then there's also the tremendous success of US womens' teams and participation there as well.

Seattle used 19 of its 20 picks on college players. The lone high school selection, 18th-round outfielder Dominic Santarelli, isn't expected to sign and will fulfill his commitment to LSU. Another late-round pick, Texas Tech third baseman Connor Shouse, is also expected to return to school. It's not an accidental trend. It's a look at how NIL is actively affecting the MLB Draft. For years, teams could use late-round picks on talented high school players with strong college commitments and see whether they had enough bonus money to change their minds. It was a reasonable lottery ticket. Save money elsewhere, make an aggressive offer and hope the opportunity to begin a professional career was more appealing than spending three years on campus. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-nil-pushed-mariners-toward-172435573.html

"Prosek was viewed in large part as a future third baseman following the summer, though he's been catching some this spring and there are people who think he may start off there in pro ball. A lot of the value here will come with bat, but it's a very, very good one." 2B was/is the other position he has been listed as...

2020?

White Sox really scouted Oregon State and Oregon thoroughly….three picks, probably overlapped with Cholowsky visits as well.

Spelled Tulo’s name incorrectly.

Kyle Schwarber +330 Junior Caminero +380 Munetaka Murakami +500 Jordan Walker +550 Bryce Harper +650 Jac Caglianone +750 Ben Rice +950 Willson Contreras +2000 hr derby odds

70 and 57 innings the last two years for Scolari seems light but they have to start building a floor/foundation somewhere.

Thought Cholowsky Emerson Vaughn were going to be ranked #18-26, roughly? Bonemer is already lower ranked (or a higher rated prospect) on some lists. Why is there so much variance in the Fauske rankings? Can Thome really be higher than Hagen Smith, who's still #53 on the current/just updated Pipeline list? Why is Gabe Davis still so high? Months ago, there was a theory Cholowsky alone would push the overall system back into the Top 10... Is that still the case after this draft, that they have jumped all the way from low 20s back into the #8-12 area? In your opinion, which of the numerous relievers drafted (along with Volchko) will be at High A or AA by the end of the season?

Vochko...best slider in AL Central a Scolari...Oregon Craytor Yeager...second Oregon State pitcher C.Johnson...OU freak of nature Horn...Coastal Carolina a Bergman...Indiana, out until at least 2027 VaSCYCHaB (patent pending) the next two great Sox relievers will soon emerge from this group...

Triolo hasn’t been good enough…

https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects White Sox with four here…Braden to be subtracted, Cholowsky added. Dodgers with ten Top 100 prospects, including six outfielders Don’t think Jacob Gonzalez ever made the Top 100 list this year after his first two months at Charlotte.

Colson topped out at 9 on one prospect list in 2024.

More accurately, Gonzalez is a 2B and SS in the same way Meidroth and Madrigal are/were SS's at the major league level....fine for 3B with enough reason for 2-3 week fill in assignments.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2026-chicago-white-sox-top-30-prospects-july-update/ Where were the Sox out of 30 teams for organizational rankings pre draft? #20-24??? Right now they’re arguably 8-12 if one assumes all the top picks sign except for that one pitcher?
