Ben Johnson's fingerprints are all over the Chicago Bears' selection of Colston Loveland, and at the end of the day, the evaluation of this pick comes down to trusting Johnson's vision for his offense. Story @BN_Bears bleachernation.com/bears/2025/04/…

I can’t remember the last time I got home from baseball at 10 and watched the replay of a Sox game. Say what you will, this group is the most fun watch in years. #WhiteSox
Yo, @Michael_Cerami 👀
The White Sox are about to hang a 10-spot on the Cubs today, aren't they?
I feel like I’ve heard that song before.
Practice is over. Some takeaways: - Bit or an uneven day for Justin Fields. Had the long TD, but held onto the ball too much and was late on others. - I liked what I saw from Jamal Pritchett and Arian Smith today, Both got open at a strong clip. - Braelon Allen is a perfect…
Let @PatrickKFlowers set the scene for some of the things he’ll be dialed in on during #DaBears training camp. bleachernation.com/bears/2025/07/…
I see people were big mad today. I hate to break it to you, but Colston is going to eventually be a third-baseman. The only true shortstops–who can glove it and swing it well enough to stick there in the majors–are Bonemer and Carlson.
Back to regular scheduled programming
They’re better managed, and they play harder. There’s hope for the pitching. The hitters have no consistent pop, whatsoever, to this point. Better, yes. Still a long way to go, though.
Don’t get me wrong, the White Sox still suck. But this team is leaps and bounds better than last year. Gives me some hope for the future.
Dawg …
RONALD ACUÑA JR. with the best throw I’ve ever seen. You won’t see anything better. An absolute middle from deep right field 💣
Top Tier Las Vegas in the News 📰 “One chapter of summer baseball drew to a sweaty end following a week-long hard-fought battle in the unforgiving Arizona sun last week. “Watching this group of young men this summer, one word immediately comes to mind: scrappy.”
Six players who repped the TT were selected in the 2025 #MLBDraft 👏
Congratulations to @ConorEssenburg on his fifth round selection by the @Braves 👏 #BravesCountry
The call, the pick and the moment @BrendanSummerh1 became part of the @RaysBaseball organization 👏 #RaysUp | @RaysPlayerDev =
.@RaysBaseball got their guy. Congratulations to @BrendanSummerh1 on being selected No. 42 overall in the 2025 MLB Draft 👏
Fauske at No. 44 is a steal for the White Sox. This is likely an over-slot deal to pull him down to that spot, because he would have been gone otherwise. The #WhiteSox have made out like bandits with Billy Carlson and Jaden Fauske in their first two picks tonight. #MLBDraft25
Jaden Fauske to the #WhiteSox at No. 44 🎯 I wrote about the White Sox liking the Nazareth product last week at @BleacherNation.
If the White Sox can land Billy Carlson and Jack Bauer in the first two rounds, I'll be ecstatic. Sox are on the clock, Bauer is on the board. Let’s go.
