🚨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!

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.
