But Washington under Trump is nothing if not unpredictable. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed back a visit because of Seoul’s political uncertainty.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Do you miss those robots yet?We’ve spent the past five weeks watching them pop out of hiding, every time a catcher, hitter or pitcher tapped his head to ask his favorite robot umps: Where the heck was that pitch?Then, almost instantaneously, a six-second animation would roll on the ballpark videoboard — and baseball’s spring training experiment with the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system would work its magic.So now that it’s time to send those robots back from whence they came — namely, the minor leagues — as spring training fades into the rearview mirror, how’d that experiment…
