The White Sox wore the 1970s red pinstripe throwbacks last season. This season — on home Sundays — they’re wearing this sweet getup:
Time to get Luzinski. #WhiteSox to wear these for Sunday home games this yr. 30th anniversary of ’83 division winners twitter.com/EricFisherSBJ/…

Hoping like crazy that Baines is wearing his originals from 1983. Also hoping that, contra Fisher, no one gets any of these near Greg Luzinski. That was not pretty:
The Marlins designated utilityman Derek Dietrich for assignment, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. This comes amid a flurry of moves on Tuesday night as teams prepare their rosters ahead of the Rule 5 draft next month.
Dietrich, 29, is coming off another strong season in which he hit .265/.330/.421 with 16 home runs, 45 RBI, and 72 runs scored in 551 plate appearances. He played all over the diamond, spending most of his time in left field and at first base. Dietrich also played some second base, third base, and right field.
Dietrich is entering his third of four years of arbitration eligibility. He earned $2.9 million this past season and MLB Trade Rumors projects him to earn $4.8 million in 2019. Cutting Dietrich represents a bit more than 4 million in savings for the rebuilding and perennially small-market Marlins. Dietrich should draw some interest, so the Marlins could end up trading him rather soon.
Wonder how J.T. Realmuto, now the longest-tenured Marlin, is feeling right about now.
