Right. Sign Hauser for next year, don't trade him.

Can't be that high. Maybe 5%. If kids did it, get the parents.

Also the force at third on KC bunt.

Key play was that one by Rojas on the Vinnie grounder. Base hit there, and Sox are in trouble.

Good catch.

Lee got screwed a bit. Last year he should not have been behind Maldonaldo for 2.5 months. This year he should not have been behind Thais. Then he got hurt.

Do they really need a 13 man pitching staff? Shuster looks expendable.

Yes. Thank you.

Robert not playing. Maybe he goes to IL. Retro.

The idiots on espn baseball tonight, which I swore I would never again watch, had a trading deadline segment in which Tim Whatshisname said that Louis Roberts will be traded to a contender. Click.

Vargo back to third.

He's not going to be promoted to High A at this rate. If he is still at Kanny next year, that will be his third season there, Patience is not a virtue forever.

How much do these high school players expect to get paid in NIL money if they opt for college?

That's a pair to draw to.

There was an old college stat/comment on Vaughn that I never saw until a year or so ago (probably here) that told how poorly Vaughn hit against the best pitchers, but he really feasted on the secondary pitchers in college. You would think that pro scouts would have noticed.

Harold, this was a no-brainer for KC. Their decision was easy. It's the White Sox who blew it.

I wonder what Sox will do with Tauchman for next year. Offer him a contract for 2026, trade him next month?

???

For openers, his nephew is team's scouting director.

Next year Robert and Taylor will be gone. Baldwin probably will get the OD nod, unless some lucky trade is made. Thus, he is in Charlotte to get some live action in CF.

Baldwin is in line to be CF in 2026.

Someone could write a book about him. Angels also sent Eder to AAA.

I think what you just said is that right now, Michael Taylor is the better player.

Which play is worse? That one, or our first baseman forgetting to get his foot on the bag?

Is that dope still around?
