Braden Montgomery, the White Sox No. 2 prospect, will reportedly be called up to the Majors, per multiple reports including https://t.co/Z3s2EpgF39’s @scottmerkin.
What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
@TuskedUp I get he’s amazing and played on USA, plays responsibly on the defensive side of things. But you couldnt convince me trading Desnoyers & a first and other prospects would be a good deal now, but especially in the future. Hayton and Durzi are whatever, it’s the rest I don’t like.
Sucks that JJ Peterka is training on an ice sheet that is like a 10th of the size of a full rink. Need him to be better next year, not the same or worse 😂😂😂
Pierre LeBrun: Re NHL playoff format: I hear from owners and managers and coaches and players, that they would rather go back to 1-8; people in every corner of the league are tired of this format - Melnick in the Afternoon (6/4)
One week to go on demo, and then the new steel starts rising on the north wall. Huge thanks to our @deltacenter team working tirelessly to get us ready for October!
Sucks if he doesn’t come back. I fill like he fills a role and is a pretty good 4th line player. Also, at times last year it seemed like he was the only one that could win a faceoff.
@ChelleRGerrit I don’t know how they are going to fix that, but something has to change. I think there is traffic because of that lane situation like 24/7 now. @UDOTTRAFFIC
@UDOTTRAFFIC Yeah… that lane situation in Roy/Riverdale is awful. Hopefully that is going to get fixed sooner rather than later. There is traffic there like 24/7 now
