The list of reasons for the Chicago White Sox to regret selecting pitcher Hagen Smith with the No. 5 overall pick in last year's MLB Draft keeps growing.
First, it was slugger Jac Caglianone, who the Kansas City Royals took one pick later, tearing up the minors and leaving the Royals no choice but to call him up to the big leagues.
Caglianone was a good fit for Chicago. The White Sox needed to add a bat, especially a power hitter, more than they needed another left-handed hurler. It turns out the Sox could have also used a first baseman with Andrew Vaughn flaming out in 2025.
