🚨SCOOP: This doesn't come as a surprise, it was expected, but @MSUBearBaseball will name Joey Hawkins as Keith Guttin's sucessor. Hawkins spent the last 3 seasons as the recruiting coordinator/associate HC for the Bears. It's a new era in Springfield. https://t.co/u2A1zbnfnT

I’ve worked with a lot of great people in this industry but Pete has by far had the greatest impact on my career. No one more deserving. Congrats Pete!
Congratulations to assistant general manager Pete Putila on being named the newest @SFGiants GM! Thank you for your hard work during the past 12 seasons.

A remarkable part of this Astros season? How healthy they've stayed. According to Spotrac, they've had 15 players on the 40-man combine to spend 859 days on the injured list. Only the Guardians and Orioles have had fewer days spent on the IL. Only the Orioles have fewer players.
