The Giants Want Roch Cholowsky. Here’s Why They Won’t Get Him.
- The Giants are aiming to secure Roch Cholowsky with a potential overslot offer, but face significant hurdles.
- Posey even met Cholowsky with Brandon Crawford present, a move tied to Cholowsky’s UCLA ties.
- Analysts say MLB would likely frown on draft manipulation attempts that could set a bad precedent.
- Cholowsky’s college performance has solidified him as the likely top pick, with high OPS and home runs.
- San Francisco traded Patrick Bailey to the Guardians to boost their draft bonus pool.
- The White Sox, Rays, and Twins hold the first three picks, complicating any bid for Cholowsky.
- Cholowsky’s agent, Joel Wolfe, could be part of friction if he pits teams against one another.
- MLB’s draft rules currently limit teams' control over first-round picks, constraining the Giants’ plan.
- Cholowsky and Emerson top the class, with Lackey and Flora following as notable prospects.
- The article suggests Posey’s strategy could be a last-ditch effort to land a big win in the draft.
