🏀Mathurin-to-Bulls buzz + Caleb Williams’ CRAZY stat! 💣

The Question: Which White Sox player holds the franchise’s single-season home run record with 49 big flies in 1998? (Answer at the bottom!)

• Mathurin Rumors: Per Evan Sidery, the Bulls have the cleanest path to sign-and-trade for Bennedict Mathurin. A package centered around Isaac Okoro’s expiring contract and a 2nd-round pick could get the deal done.

• Norman Powell’s Quote: Powell raised eyebrows with a wild statement recently: “We have the potential to be really good. But we also have the potential to be really bad.”

• Context Needed? Powell claims it was taken out of context, but... bro what? Not sure how any context saves that one! 😅
