Minor League Report. When will they call Chance Adams up? (Great again). Littell & Perez dominate again, too.

This will be my last report for a while. I will be on vacation, visiting family on the other side of the country for a little over a week. Please bear with me until my return.

I haven’t seen a niece or nephew in 8 years. Or a sister in two years.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
