White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil returns for his third monthly check-in of the season, but this time the fans take over in a special Ask Me Anything episode. Vasil shares the origin story of the famous wizard hat, discusses what Kyle Teel’s return means to the team, provides an update on his rehab, and answers everything from his exchange with Tarik Skubal and the future of the magic wand to Portillo’s orders, potential managerial aspirations, whether he sees the White Sox as a playoff team, and more.
