"It's a long enough offseason where if you stay with it, you never get too far removed," Molitor said. "But it ramps up once the calendar changes to the New Year. There's a lot of things I can do from my computer, even on the road. It's not like it's something where you sit there from 8 to 5."
But one change this offseason is that bench coach Joe Vavra, who doubles as the club's Spring Training coordinator, is managing the Melbourne Aces in the Australian Baseball League. Molitor has been in contact with Vavra throughout the offseason, but the two won't meet face-to-face until Vavra returns once the ABL season ends later this month.
