Congrats to Double-A Trenton manager Tony Franklin, who was named the Double-A Eastern League Manager of the Year today. The Thunder have the second best record in the circuit this season and are on the verge of clinching their fifth division titles in the last seven years. Earlier this week, Triple-A Empire State manager Dave Miley received the same honors in the International League.
Also, make sure you check out Mike Ashmore’s and Josh Norris’ latest chat with BP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman. He spoke briefly about the Arizona Fall League and RHP Dellin Betances’ injury. Also check out Ashmore’s chat with Brian Cashman following today’s PDC extension announcement.
Triple-A Empire State (5-0 win over Lehigh Valley) the wins clinches the division title despite playing what amounts to nothing but road games this season, so a big congrats to them … looks like they partied hard too
