Grady OC, Joel McKeithan rounds out the staff as asst. hitting coach, previously with the Reds.

WhItE sOx NoT eLiMiNaTeD yEt!!!

Jason Bourgeois was the first base coach

Alejandro Cruz is expected to receive the 16th highest bonus total in the upcoming class (Roki isn't included in BAs 2025 board as of yet).

Well at least they're trying to bring in some (hopefully) competent FO staff to at least mimic the Rays, even if it's the Dollar General version at this point.

As a couple others have mentioned, the only way stripping the payroll down that low makes sense is as a precursor to a sale. At least that's the only thing in my head that can make sense of that approach.

They must be truly gunning for the 2025 payroll (or lack thereof) championship.

I'm about 45 mins south of the stadium and grabbed an OTA antenna with a 65 mile range and the picture comes in great, think it cost me like $60. Probably went a bit overboard big figured i could just return it if it didn't work or the quality sucked.

Turner, Gladney, and AHT all played Monday, and both Turner and Gladney are listed in the lineup tonight for Glendale.

Grant Taylor, Dalquist, AHT, Turner & Gladney.

It turns out that's Venable's house, Bochy got replica trophies made for the coaches after they won last year.

In case anyone wanted to watch/listen to the introductory presser, here ya go.

This is the biggest part for me, bringing in (seemingly) smart people from outside the insular bubble is progress.

Brandon Hyde was/is in the same boat too.
