He might as well camp out in Birmingham/Charlotte as Braden's personal hitting coach until Montgomery is promoted. Can then work with Antonacci, Carlson, Fauske, Lodise, Bonemer and hopefully the next Sox impact bat from the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 On 10/27/2025 at 2:22 PM, Autumn Dreamin said: The Mets were 147-165 (89.1%) on SBs despite not having a particularly speedy roster, by far the highest success rate in the league (Cubs were second at 82.1%). Soto in particular credited Richardson for his career high 38 steals this year. Considering the Mets' deep pockets, one assumes the hangup isn't money, so...Getz should make a call? Yea, Sox could use improvement in that area. Should be a priority especially with the lack of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Enough with the ex, future and maybe never Royals!!! News: The #Royals are hiring Marcus Thames as a hitting coach, according to sources. Thames is a former big leaguer who has also coached for several organizations, including NYY, MIA, LAA, and most recently, CWS. He joins the KC staff alongside Connor Dawson. — Anne Rogers (@anne__rogers) November 10, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) "The Royals hired Marcus Thames to serve us a hitting coach under Alec Zumwalt, the senior director of hitting performance and hitting coach. This comes just three days after hiring Connor Dawson as a hitting coach." Apparently JR was unhappy that Thames was too friendly with Ohtani.

caulfield12 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) "Each unit (four teams he coached for/with) was among the top American League teams in home runs. A big emphasis was the ability to generate power and drive in more runs. In 2025, the White Sox finished the second half of the season by scoring 4.85 runs per game. The Royals have notable power hitters in their lineup. Both Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez reached 30 homers and 100 RBIs. Bobby Witt Jr. just won a second AL Silver Slugger Award at shortstop, and Jac Caglianone is an emerging power threat. Caglianone could thrive under Thames’ tutelage. A lot was made about Caglianone’s ground-ball rate this season, and Thames could possibly unlock his ability to lift the baseball more. Thames has worked with both Luke Voit and Shohei Ohtani..."
