FutureSox Podcast: '24 MLB Draft Talk with Tyler Jennings of Prospects Live

On this special episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcome Tyler Jennings of Prospects Live for some serious draft chat. They discuss what Tyler feels is the strength of the draft and who you can expect to end up in the top 10 at this point. As White Sox fans, we are all pretty much disgusted that the Guardians ended up with the first pick in the draft, but Ian and James asked Tyler where he thought their strategy would take them with the first overall pick.
Once they got past the names everybody knows and expects to be called in the top 10, Tyler was asked who his favorite guys outside of the top 10 are. He had some interesting answers and probably a few you either don't know or don't expect.
Of course the most important question the FutureSox Podcast has for Tyler is who he thinks the White Sox will go with at number 5, and who will be available.
