    Have met big leaguers before but none as humble and as down to earth as @nick3lopez. What an unbelievable experience for our players to workout with him today. An unbelievable player but a better person. Good luck this year and can’t wait to watch the @Royals this year!

    Im having trouble finding the right words right now. Kevin was like a son to me. He was the hardest worker and just the best person around. He would do anything for anyone. I will miss him so much. Life is too short and simply not fair sometimes. Love you so much Bush.

    What a crazy few days. Was honored to coach our guys today and watch them do what they love to do. Will play one more game tomorrow morning and that will be it for the year. I still can’t believe it. Hope our guys know how much I love them like my own sons. What a great group!

    Class move by the @Cardinals to trade Piscotty to the A’s so he could help take care of his mom, who has been diagnosed with ALS. As someone who has taken care of his mom with ALS, the more time he can spend with her the better. Great job Cards.
