It is funny that the White Sox didn't trade all of their players they could have like the Marlins did. The White Sox may have the worst record in MLB this season but they still won't get the #1 pick as the best pick they can have is #10 since they picked in the top 6 in this years draft.

Is tanking dead? Probably not because it resets for the '26 draft for the White Sox but then they won't be able to pick again in the top 6 until the '28 draft.
