Summary
Dan Bernstein believes the Bryson Graham hire is a clear sign that Michael Reinsdorf finally understands how far the Bulls are from true championship contention.
0:00 Chicago Bulls
39:20 Umpire calls a challenge on himself
47:50 White Sox
Instead of choosing the safe, familiar path, the organization took a calculated risk, avoided the path of least resistance, and leaned into change. Is this quiet move a sign of real self‑awareness from the Bulls… and could it actually matter?
Plus, a bizarre moment at Wrigley: during last night’s Cubs game, an umpire called a challenge on himself - just a reminder that MLB’s new ABS challenge system should be used on every call.
And from the “how did we get here?” department: looking at the White Sox’ long‑term struggles with player development, we ask a sobering trivia question — who was the last position player the Sox drafted out of high school that turned into a legitimately good major league hitter? The answer might surprise you… or it might explain everything.
