PyCharm debugger text: 40. Jordan Walker, 3B, Decatur (HS)

Walker is listed at 6-foot-5, which would tie him with Kris Bryant for the tallest third baseman in the majors. Predictably, one of his top selling points is his power potential.

Edited tweet: My neighbor told me the White Sox keep eating his pitchers so I asked how many pitchers he has and he said he just goes to the bullpen and gets a new pitcher afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding pitchers to the White Sox and then his daughter started crying.

Tweet from user J Mart @j_mart59741. Text: This tells me Soto is an outcast to the main clubhouse. He's not vibing with Lindor, Alonso, Nimmo etc. so the bullpen is his safe space and comfort zone. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he comes out as non binary or has some form of high functioning autism. Timestamp: 12:47 PM, 5/6/25.

Text: The Athletic spoke with three Mets veteran players and granted them anonymity in exchange for candor. They all agreed: completely normal. As the veteran players explained, when a player goes on the IL in baseball, he is essentially out of sight, out of mind. The injured player is “not going through the moment,” as one of the veterans put it. Therefore, they maintain a distance. In some instances, an especially vocal leader will reach out to the group via text. That’s not the standard operating procedure, though.
