Yes! That's important information, thank you

The incident did not disrupt the game, but the White Sox announced the scheduled postgame concert was canceled due to "a technical issue."
Chicago Police confirmed a shooting incident took place during the Chicago White Sox’s game against the Oakland A’s at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday.
The incident reportedly occurred in the stands during the third inning according to an eyewitness interviewed on local Chicago news station Fox 32. The incident did not disrupt the game. However, the White Sox announced after the game that the scheduled postgame concert featuring Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc and Rob Base was canceled due to “a technical issue.”
In the section where the shooting took place, fans were removed and told to go to a different gate, according to the eyewitness.
Fans “stood at that gate for at least four or five innings” and were asked if they had seen or heard anything, the witness said. The game continued while the fans were standing at the gate.
The eyewitness confirmed that he had to go through a metal detector to enter the stadium.
In 2013, some ballparks began requiring metal detector screenings upon entry. By Opening Day 2015, metal detector screenings became standard procedure throughout all of MLB.

WASHINGTON D.C. — Rob Manfred, a polarizing leader and an aggressive agent of change who has overseen record revenues in the sport, received a third term as Major League Baseball’s commissioner on Wednesday, extending his contract by four years, until Jan. 25, 2029.

[Passan] The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a trade that would send superutilityman Kiké Hernandez to the Dodgers, sources tell ESPN.
He has spent most of the 2023 season at shortstop but can play second base and center field as well.
He did an interview earlier where you could tell how much he regrets it (there were actually some tears). It's stupid to do stuff like this but he knows it. He's disappointed with his emotions slipping away and letting down the team.
Hope he heals up quick

Yep!! As someone who just started following the Twins a few years ago, it's weird (but awesome) to now have a team with an incredible rotation
Ohtani is incredible
Buckdaddy is incredible
The Braves are incredible
