Bendix, 38, began with the Rays as an intern in 2009 and has labored his manner up the ladder since. He used to be promoted to basic supervisor in 2021, serving beneath president of baseball operations Erik Neander. 

Hiring from the Rays’ entrance workplace has turn out to be a well-liked factor to do for glaring causes. The Rays have proven the facility to squeeze each ounce of efficiency out of a low-payroll roster for a good period of time now. There had been 4 playoff seasons in six years from 2008-13, after which there is the new run of 5 directly playoff seasons, which incorporated the 2020 pennant and two AL East titles.

The prevailing knowledge can be that this entrance workplace has a knack for pegging the proper avid gamers and — in lots of instances — giving them better payroll talent must make for a very good system.

It’s tough to pass judgement on James Click’s time in Houston, and it is almost certainly too early in Matt Arnold’s tenure in Milwaukee to attract sweeping conclusions. Still, there is sufficient luck with the crowd that tapping into that very same entrance workplace is a defensible maneuver in filling a high-ranking entrance workplace place. 

The Marlins made the playoffs ultimate season for the primary time in a complete agenda since 2003, however had been swept in two video games by way of the Phillies. The Marlins had been 84-78 within the common season.
