Chase Meidroth, the White Sox's lone Gold Glove nominee, lost the AL second base award to Seattle's Cole Young. Whether that's a snub is debatable, but Statcast had Young among the worst second basemen, so the metrics didn't line up with the voting. π§€

Jarold Rosado lands at No. 100 on South Side Sox's 2027 prospect list. The righty again stalled at Double-A, posting a 6.85 ERA and 36 walks in 43 1/3 innings across 2026, before rebounding at High-A. Control remains the problem. π―
