This was a forgone conclusion, but I really hoped they’d be able to float him down to a later pick.

Maybe they’re able to go below slot with Thome and they pushed the guy they wanted at 34 down to 41 and are able to save money on that value too.

ugh, rockies got Reddemann.

He could still be under slot, but it’s less likely at #34 vs. #41

Walter Payton's rookie signing bonus was 126K.....Walter Payton wore #34.....what say you young Mr Thome?.....you know the friends and family discount goes both ways.

Classic white sox.

Makes me feel like they potentially picked him too high because it's such a fucking white Sox thing to do. Jerry telling them to do what it takes to get Thome's son out of respect/loyalty.

Oh no the White Sox drafted a highly regarded kid who happens to have a major league dad affiliated with the team.

The hot takes are flying. Kind of insane considering how he's ranked by publications. Hope he fucking kills it. We don't even know what the entire class/pool looks like yet.

Wonder if we at some point go the the UCLA well and bring in some of Roch’s teammates… the third base kid with pop, their closer, etc.

Didn't Gasparino have crazy helium at one point?

Give me Slightom or Mason Edwards.

Wait to see who the Sox pick at 41 first to b****.

My guess is we’re going HS pitcher at 41. Name starting with a S.

I wonder what the penalty would be if we had Landon take less and made up for it by giving Jim a big payday as an ambassador/front office employee.

I think he maxed out somewhere between 40 and 70.

ONE MORE PICK AND WE’RE ON THE CLOCK

Now the Peacock stream ends and it transitions to MLB.com I believe?

Sox win! What a day!

Lebron really fell, huh

Please Dodgers. I don't wanna hate you more than I already do.

Convinced at this point that traded for #34 just so they could draft Thome during the game.

Dodgers get Bo Lowrance.
