The 2026 MLB Draft is underway in Philadelphia as part of All-Star Weekend. The Chicago White Sox had the No. 1 pick and went with UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky. From there, the Tampa Bay Rays grabbed high school shortstop Grady Emerson at No. 2, the Minnesota Twins picked Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey at No. 3, the San Francisco Giants chose college righty Jackson Flora fourth and the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted LSU outfielder Derek Curiel to round out the top five.
Every team is hoping to find a franchise cornerstone among the high school and college players who will hear their names called this weekend. Some will. Others will find All-Stars and depth pieces, or even trade bait.
