So I gather there was an election yesterday? Mark Texiera lost his run for Texas’ 21st district. We don’t talk politics on this site really, there’s enough to shout about just in terms of baseball, but I think we can all agree that the good people of Texas deserve better than a vile Yankee. Former Blue Jay Matt Shoemaker seems likely to be elected to his local school board, which is nice.
David Bell stepped down as assistant GM and VP of Baseball Operations. Bell joined the front office two years ago after a six year stint managing the Reds.
