📰 News we're reading

• MLB's data regulation could be a shortcut to help White Sox finish what they've started (soxmachine.com) — Major League Baseball’s new rules on in-game technology would mean installing Hawk-Eye systems at every minor-league affiliate, including the White Sox club in Kannapolis. While the change mainly targets leaguewide parity and data access for players, it could indirectly benefit a traditionally tech-lagging organization like Chicago by standardizing tools their Kannapolis prospects will now share with every other farm system.
