Tell that to the Yankees. Their difference from 23-24 is mind blowing. Yes they added Soto, but EVERYONE is hitting better in their lineup. Even Stanton who was on the verge of being whacked, to use a NY term
Saving money on the hitting coach position? Not like popkins is some 60 year old longtime hitting coach with a big salary. If they were interested in saving money at that position, they wouldn’t employ 3 coaches to do it.
Nah cmon. No team is actively refusing to improve their team by holding on to coaches they know think aren’t good. Coaches, not managers or players I mean
Why? Yankees fired their hitting coach at the all star break last season and hired our old buddy James rowson over the offseason. Has completely rejuvenated their entire roster.
