Isn't it a little embarassing that the Phillies didn't want Mattingly back until they knew if Alex Cora would take the job? It may be fine in the end but it's at least awkward no?

Gabriel Moreno of the #Diamondbacks became the fifth different catcher in the modern era to win a batting average title. There have been 8 total seasons when a catcher has done this. It was also the 1st batting title for any D'back.
