Chris Bassitt is still hurting

Losing in the World Series still haunts him.

Is Chris Bassitt over the Blue Jays' loss in the 2025 World Series?

“I'm not over it. I think the only way I can possibly get over it is to win one. … I still have a lot of pain from it, for sure. So it's definitely unfinished business.”

Chris Sale doesn't want to use the ABS system

He'll leave that to his catchers.

Interesting perspective but curious to see if Sale's opinion changes once he uses ABS more https://t.co/PJa4GgfCiE
