(Photo by Scott Marshall/Getty Images) Getty Images The Chicago White Sox are in both an enviable and stressful position by holding the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft that begins Saturday.

White Sox GM Chris Getz is on record as saying the plan is to “pick the best position player” regardless of the current needs at the Major League level. Yet various scouting reports keep flip-flopping on just who and how that top everyday talent may eventually develop.

Yet in 2026, the defeat is accompanied by a far larger existential crisis about the state of the United States men’s soccer program as a whole. Mo
