    I looked over the list of personnel who died in 2020 to find a manager, and it looks like Eddie Kasko will serve as player/manager. Kasko managed the Red Sox for four years (1970-73) and never had a losing season.

    Ron Perranoski would be the logical choice to be player/pitching coach, and Billy DeMars and Tommy Sandt will round out the coaching staff.

    Even though I couldn't stand Lasorda when he was a coach and then manager of the Dodgers he was really good for the game because of his enthusiasm for the sport. RIP Tommy Lasorda.

    Re: Some Obituaries of Recently Deceased Major Leaguers Part Two

    The 2021 Field of Dreams Team signs their first player of the year, a diminutive left-handed reliever. He seems unlikely to make the final 25-man roster (or even the final 40-man roster), but looks to be solid coaching or managerial material.

    Transactions
    Signed LHP Tommy Lasorda.
