- The Mariners have dealt minor league utilityman Kean Wong to the White Sox, which may be writing on the wall for his brother Kolten.
Around the league...
- Nevada governor Joe Lombardo officially signed the bill to fund a stadium for the A’s in Las Vegas. The last step the A’s need to clear now is a vote among the owners, which is all but a formality for them.
- Prior to that news, Rob Manfred spoke to the media about the A’s relocation efforts and the reverse boycott. Evan Drellich at The Athletic has the report. ($)
- Manfred also talked about Pride celebrations, noting that the league has urged teams not to wear Pride patches in order to “protect the players.”
- Manfred also said that roboumps are not likely to be added to big league regulations in 2024.
- Is that the downfall of the Angels I hear on the wind?
