That's part of the reason White Sox director of amateur scouting Mike Shirley and company were attracted to Kyle Lodise with the 76th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday night. Lodise, 21, is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound, right-handed hitting shortstop who just wrapped up a big season at Georgia Tech.

ESPN turned heads earlier this month when it referred to former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks as a member of their 2005 championship team. What ESPN neglected to mention is that Jenks, who died on July 4, recorded the series’ final out to give the White Sox their first title since 1917.
