Sunday afternoons are for grocery shopping at the commissaryโฆ.! So thankful to the Defense Commissary Agency for taking care of the military families and veterans in Hampton Roads and around the world (and I save an average of $2-$3 off my favorite Tillamook chocolate peanut butter ice cream when I buy it on base!) As we continue to work to lower everyday costs, protecting these types of benefits for our military families continues to be a priority of mine in Congress.๐บ๐ธ
Asked Nick Krall about the priority to protect top prospects heading into Thursday's 6 pm MLB trade deadline. "No matter what we're going to have to be a team that continues to develop through our own player pipeline. As much as we want to go out and do this or this, we have to continue to develop those guys. Two guys that are in Triple-A that got to Triple-A two weeks ago, Hector Rodriguez and Sal Stewart, have gone to Triple-A, played really well and have a chance to make an impact on this club. It's really hard to give guys like that up because that is your future. That is your long-term future, and it's not too far away. So it's really important that for us, in this market, to be able to develop from within in everything we do. So yeah, you do have to protect some of those guys."
