Luis Arráez's exceptional batting performance, characterized by a focus on contact hitting rather than power, is being overlooked in today's MLB environment that prioritizes home runs. Despite his impressive display with a .374 average and leading the National League in batting, Arráez's style of play is deemed old-fashioned in a league struggling with declining offensive numbers. While some managers recognize and appreciate his approach, the shift towards analytics-driven hitting strategies has marginalized players like Arráez who prioritize getting on base and scoring runs over hitting for power. The article highlights the contrasting values in modern baseball compared to the past, where players like Tony Gwynn were celebrated for their consistent hitting abilities.

Canada's unemployment rate increased to 6.2% as the country added 26,700 jobs in May, in line with expectations. Despite Governor Tiff Macklem's dovish comments prompting hopes of a rate cut, rising wages and strong US labor report have led to caution among economists. The rise in unemployment may keep the Bank of Canada on track for a rate cut in July, but concerns over wage growth and economic data releases remain. Overall, the report will likely have little impact on officials as they monitor inflation and economic forecasts leading up to the next meeting.
