The Royals have hired Hunter Mense as their new hitting coach, sources tell me and @mi_guardado. Mense had been the hitting coach with the Giants.
Sorry to see Tristan Beck placed on unconditional release waivers and a little surprised the Giants put José Buttó on the waiver wire; here are the rest of today’s moves:
Join me and @JeremyAffeldt as we look at roster moves, the Arizona Fall League and the possible return of a true Giant: youtu.be/Kylp_mW9h7E
It's a new @SplashHitPod where @scottostler and I consider the plight of the fans after a rough year, continued lack of success, losing Mike Krukow and more: youtu.be/jiDhFUms2MY
What a loss to the baseball writer community, a true great and a lovely person. A pleasure to read and even more so to know.
If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔
