Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello is finalizing a deal to become the next manager of the San Francisco Giants, sources tell me and @jeffpassan. Vitello, 47, will be the first ever to jump from college coach to MLB manager without any professional experience.
I know we joke about stuff being incomprehensible to the European mind but 105,000 people giving a standing ovation to a 90-year-old man in a tuxedo after he puts on a mascot head is probably really hard for them to understand.
The San Francisco Giants are acquiring All-Star slugger Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, sources confirm to ESPN. An out-of-nowhere blockbuster deal. Boston is getting RHP Jordan Hicks and more. First on the news was @ByRobertMurray.
I am excited to announce I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at Galveston College. I would like to thank my parents, teammates and coaches that have all helped me get here.

Good luck to @Tstarkeytx and @JGonzales_44 as they head out to @NTCC_Baseball to start the grind. They’re ugly but they can play some baseball. Good luck gentlemen. Going to miss you around the cage.
