For all the factors that led to this season’s disaster for the White Sox, one kept getting attention: the plane.

@Britt_Ghiroli & @Ken_Rosenthal spoke to nearly 40 current and former Chicago employees about the the dysfunctional franchise.

DUBS ALL DAY🪣🔴

From @TheAthleticFC: Erling Haaland is frequently portrayed as a lethal Scandinavian footballing machine whose sole purpose is to compute the most effective way to score goals. But that’s not entirely fair. These goals show he's an artist, not a robot. https://t.co/wkbJJFqq4D

This is Name A Guy nirvana.

We have a new collecting vertical at @TheAthletic, so to celebrate, I set out to find a David Justice card at the nation's largest sports collectors convention. It became quite the endeavor.

In other words: Let's remember some (a lot of) guys.

The conclusion of the Missing Bats series: Strikeouts took over baseball. Now a league grapples with how to fix itself.

What more can be done to restore the balance of power between hitters and pitchers?

I went to federal prison to speak with Eric Kay.

It's the first interview the former Angels comms director has given since being convicted in Tyler Skaggs' death.

We discussed Skaggs, Kay's responsibility and how its "broken" his family.

From @TheAthletic: Quincy Wilson really wants three things: to get his driver's license, to play video games, to eat ice cream.

The 16-year-old may still be invited to run for USA at the Olympics. But for the track prodigy, everything is different now https://t.co/pqsV5nsOm2

Such a great deep dive here.

[Andy McCullough @ByMcCullough]

First part of a five-part series. A few years ago, @MarcCarig started talking about how missing bats has changed baseball. It's the equivalent of the corner trey in basketball -- an obvious point that took decades to become ubiquitous. Here is what that realization hath wrought.

The job of pharmacy benefit managers is to reduce drug costs. Instead, they steer patients toward pricier drugs, charge steep markups on what would otherwise be inexpensive medicines and extract billions in hidden fees, The New York Times found. https://t.co/cqsX8IBiSl
