Not much else to report. The transaction of the day was pitching coach Rigo Beltran being promoted from Dayton up to Double-A Carolina and Tony Fossas going from the Gulf Coast League to Dayton to be their pitching coach. This is only noteworthy because it likely signals the end of Tom Browning’s relationship with the team after he was arrested on Friday for not paying child support.

I’m at the facility in Sarasota and will report back with any news that crops up. — Jonathan Mayo
