Old Friends Austin Barnes and Alex Vesia are advancing deeper into the postseason after the Dodgers’ 3-1 NL Wild Card Game win over the Cardinals (neither Barnes or Vesia actually played in the game).
News of the Marlins’ coaching/development staffing changes has begun to trickle out. Major league athletic trainers Gene Basham, Brad LaRosa and Chris Mudd are not being renewed for 2022, per Craig Mish. More surprisingly, Andy Slater reports the dismissal of Mike Jacobs, the former player who had been steadily climbing the MiLB managerial ranks.
