The White Sox lost in such an embarrassing fashion that the Royals were laughing hysterically in the dugout
While the White Sox aren't necessarily the record-breaking bad team that they were last year, they're still the worst team in the American League. And when they find ways to lose games like the one on Tuesday night, it's easy to see why.
Good teams simply don't collapse on routine plays like the White Sox.
With the White Sox leading the Royals by a run in the bottom of the ninth, a leadoff walk to Mark Canha put the pressure on pitcher Cam Booser. But three pitches later, he seemingly did just what he needed to do with forcing Drew Waters into a routine popup to second.
Except White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth turned the play into a live comedic performance for the Royals dugout.

Meidroth lost track of the ball completely and picked it up too late as it came down right on his head. Canha advanced to second on an errant throw after the initial error, and we could see as Salvador Perez was imitating the play in the dugout.
An error doesn't get much more embarrassing than that.
The Royals took advantage with three more singles, ending in a walk-off hit by Bobby Witt Jr.
Meidroth won't hear the end of that loss anytime soon.

MO State Rep. introduces bill to cut childhood poverty in half
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri State Representative, Ray Reed announced Monday a bill that seeks to cut childhood poverty in half for Missouri children. During a Missouri General Assembly special session, Reed introduced the 'Missouri Child Tax Credit' bill in hopes for the state to invest in Missouri's low-income and working-class families. Potential Royals move to Kansas sparks mixed reaction in Overland Park 'At a time when we're considering investing nearly a billion dollars to retain a football team, I believe we must also ask ourselves what kind of state we want to be. If we have the resources to build stadiums, we have the resources to build stronger futures for Missouri's kids,' Rep. Reed, said. The statement comes on the same day Jackson County legislators approved the 2025 Jackson County budget, which included investments in community needs such affordable housing and health equity, according to Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. The child tax credit seeks to provide direct payments to low-income families with children under the age of 18-years-old. Kansas City's Country Club Plaza struggles with closures and empty shops In a release form Reed's office, it states the bill is modeled after the 2021 Biden-Harris expansion that lifted more than three million children out of poverty nationwide. 'This bill isn't just about alleviating poverty—it's about unlocking potential,' Reed said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Top MLB insider proposes ‘match made in heaven' New York Yankees trade with division rival
A notable MLB insider recently proposed a trade idea for the New York Yankees to fill a couple of roster needs for the stretch run with a pair of impact players from rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite ace Gerrit Cole being out for the season, Giancarlo Stanton yet to have played a game, and Juan Soto in Queens, the Yankees own one of the best records in the American League. Yet, for as good as they have been this season, they have some clear weaknesses in the infield and bullpen they need to address if they want to get back to the World Series in the fall. Advertisement Also Read: New York Yankees game today – Get a look at upcoming Yankees schedule Well, with that in mind, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan offered up an intriguing idea for the New York to improve their weak spots via a surprise trade with division rivals the Tampa Bay Rays. 'Intradivision trades are never easy to execute. But the possibility of Brandon Lowe and a relief arm makes sense,' he wrote. 'Regardless of what the Yankees do at the deadline, they've given themselves a nice cushion in the AL East. And were the class of the division through Memorial Day. 'Lowe's career numbers at Yankee Stadium are admittedly abysmal. But his left-handed stroke and the short porch in right field feel like a match made in heaven.' Advertisement As Passan notes, trades inside the division are always difficult to complete. The idea of helping a rival club get better and potentially reach or win a World Series is usually more than enough to sink discussions before they really get going. The Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Toronto Blue Jays would likely need an offer they can't refuse to make a deal that helps the Yankees. However, the Rays are not as petty. And are willing to deal talent if it moves money off their books and gets them intriguing prospects in return. The two clubs have made trades before, and it is certainly a possibility this summer.

Potential Royals move to Kansas sparks mixed reaction in Overland Park
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — With the future of a new Royals stadium in Missouri still uncertain, Kansas may be stepping up to the plate. FOX4 has learned the Royals are now eyeing the former Sprint campus—now known as Aspiria—as a possible site for a new stadium. The by a business affiliate connected to the team. Kansas City gearing up to host six matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup But while some fans are excited by the idea, not everyone is ready to crown this location as a home run. Jesse Rodriguez, who works at Guitar Center, is chief among the skeptics, but for good reason. 'Taking away land from businesses and the lack of notice,' he said. Rodriguez also works in the Crossroads District and says he saw firsthand how the Royals' previous . 'We're kind of in the middle of Johnson County, so that can be hard to manage traffic flow, movement, people getting there, hotels that they'll need. I think we need to incentivize stadiums in our cities or our states, but I don't think we need to be walked over,' he said. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV Former Overland Park councilman and current mayoral candidate Dr. Faris Farassati says many residents he's heard from are not on board. 'The area's design was never intended to accommodate such development,' Farassati said. 'It's noteworthy that while the city is gathering feedback on a new logo, there appears to be no attempt to gauge public interest in placing a stadium in this corridor.' Another current council member echoed that concern, telling FOX4 the city would need major infrastructure improvements in and around the area—including traffic systems and housing support—before anything could move forward. Cherrie Duensing, owner of Best Regards Bakery, located across the street from Aspiria, said she'd love to see the Royals make the move—when there is a clear plan. 'We're big Kansas City fans,' she said. 'But if they could be as clear as possible—what kind of timeline we're looking at, letting us know about possible detours or construction—that would help.' FOX4 reached out to the City of Overland Park with several questions. In response, Mayor Curt Skoog said 'Overland Park is supportive of our hometown teams. We know the Chiefs and Royals belong in the Kansas City region and will do everything in our power to keep them here.'
