Report: Orioles set to add John Mabry to coaching staff
Former longtime major league player John Mabry is in discussions with the Baltimore Orioles to become a senior advisor on the staff of interim manager Tony Mansolino, The Athletic reported Thursday.
Mabry, 54, played for 14 major league seasons for eight clubs, including eight seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also has served as a coach for the Cardinals, Kansas City Royals and most recently the Miami Marlins.
The Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde, as well as field coordinator and catching instructor Tim Cossins on May 17. Baltimore was 15-28 at the time of the dismissals after making consecutive playoff appearances.
In 1,321 career games, Mabry was a career .263 hitter with 96 home runs and 446 RBIs. He made his major league debut in 1994 with the Cardinals and was fourth in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1995 when he batted .307 in 129 games.

Braves hire ex-skipper Fredi Gonzalez to fix 3B coaching woes
June 3 - The Atlanta Braves brought back former manager Fredi Gonzalez back to coach third base on Tuesday after a series of base-running blunders. He replaces Matt Tuiasosopo, who accepted a new position as a minor league infield coordinator. The Braves have seen four runners thrown out at home plate this season, including a crucial ninth-inning play in a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on May 23 and an easy cut-down of Alex Verdugo by Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran in a 7-6 loss on May 17. It's a role reversal as Gonzalez, 61, joins manager Brian Snitker's coaching staff. Snitker was the third-base coach for the first two years of Gonzalez's stint as Atlanta's skipper from 2011-16. The Braves had a .512 winning percentage under Gonzalez and made the playoffs in 2012 and 2013. But after a 67-95 record in 2015 and a rough start to 2016, Snitker replaced Gonzalez in May of that year. General manager Alex Anthopoulos said the team didn't seriously consider making the change at third base until Sunday, and that Gonzalez's availability was key to the decision. "If he hadn't been available, I can't tell you we would have made this move, because it wasn't just make it to make it," Anthopoulos said, per The Athletic. "It had to be the right person and someone that could hit the ground running that we knew would be successful at it. And Fredi's proven that at the big-league level for years." Gonzalez also managed the Miami Marlins from 2007-10, winning The Sporting News Manager of the Year award in 2008, and returned to the Marlins to coach third base from 2017-19. Most recently, he spent five seasons coaching with the Baltimore Orioles before being let go at the end of the 2024 campaign. --Field Level Media

Elon Musk turns on Trump and blasts ‘outrageous, pork-filled' spending bill
Elon Musk has turned on President Donald Trump by blasting his 'big beautiful bill' as an 'outrageous, pork-filled, disgusting abomination.' The denunciation comes just days after the mogul exited the White House. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,' Musk posted on X Tuesday. 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' The billionaire took a significantly stronger tone than his previous criticism of the spending bill now he has left Washington, D.C. He previously said the bill 'undermines' the Department of Government Efficiency. 'I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, doesn't decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,' Musk said over the weekend.
