No lock out news. But maybe that’s a good thing, because a few things this past week really deserve our attention.

Sources: Rachel Balkovec, who joined the Yankees organization as a minor-league hitting coach in 2019, will serve as the manager for the Low A Tampa Tarpons next season.

We believe this is the first woman manager in MiLB. She previously served as a minor league hitting coach in the Yankee system.
