The Opener: Winn, Griffin, White Sox
Key Points:
- Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn, who recently hit his first career walk-off, was involved in a single-car accident near Busch Stadium but is reported to be okay after hospital evaluation; the team will reassess his status before their next game in Detroit.
- The Pirates are in advanced talks to extend top prospect shortstop Konnor Griffin, potentially offering a franchise-record contract that could surpass $100 million, aiming to secure him ahead of his MLB debut.
- The White Sox's home opener has been postponed, though further details on the reasons or rescheduling were not provided.
