With the Rule 5 draft just around the corner, the White Sox will have another opportunity to add another young player to their roster. Last year, the team selected Shane Smith with the first overall pick in Rule 5, and Smith went on to make the all-star game in his rookie season. RHP Mike Vasil, who was highly productive in a swingman role for the 2025 White Sox, was also a Rule 5 pick that the White Sox claimed on waivers before Opening Day. While other White Sox rule 5 picks in recent years haven’t panned out, 2025 can serve as proof that impact talent can be found.
