Fantastic stuff here from @DawgsAcademy and @Okotoks_Dawgs alum @tristandpeters! ⚾️🇨🇦 theplayerstribune.com/trista…
Great read from @tristandpeters about his journey from Winkler, Manitoba to @DawgsAcademy and the @Okotoks_Dawgs to the @whitesox where he had an incredible 2026 season ...
“I truly believe this season was only just a glimpse of what’s to come.”
@tristandpeters knows this is only the beginning for the @whitesox. theplayerstribune.com/trista…
Kudos to the @SylvanLakegulls alum!
Nathan Flewelling is headed to the Fall Stars Game!
The @RaysBaseball No. 4 prospect is batting .278 with 20 hits this Fall. Catch Nathan and the rest of the Fall Stars in action THIS SUNDAY at 6PM MST
He's pretty young to be a Hall of Famer, let alone a two-time HOF pick, but @lhofmann11 has earned the honours.
