Michael Porter Jr. had the best game of his pro career during his 2nd career start. He only missed one single shot and kept the defense on their toes with a variety of offensive moves. MPJ can be a problem in this league if he can produce on a consistent basis.

Will Harris’ most notorious moment of his MLB career occurred when he allowed the iconic 2-run go-ahead HR to Howie Kendrick in the 7th inning during Game 7 of the 2019 World Series.

Chicago White Sox got ahead of the game last year by signing (top prospect at the time) Eloy Jimenez to a sizable contract before he played a single Major League game. They did it again this year with their other mega OF prospect, which probably helped after seeing Jimenez thrive in his rookie season.
UPDATE: Chicago White Sox have signed top prospect OF Luis Robert to a 6y/$50M extension that can reach up to 8y/$88M before he’s played a single MLB game https://t.co/LcWWmUmiOx
