Ponder Has 'Open Door' Policy with Players
Tuesday, July 25th , 2023
Make no mistake, Arthur Ponder likes to consider himself a player's manager.

The Baltimore Orioles bench boss says he has an "open door" policy and allows his players to come talk to him about anything - baseball, or otherwise.

"Some days a guy will just be having a bad day, or trouble at home and want to come chat," he said. "I've never understood managers that close themselves off or aren't open to their players. These guys are your family for most of the year, you've got to treat them that way."

The members of the team certainly appreciate the manager's approach, according to Ronald Guzman.

"He's a great guy and has helped a lot of us out by being open and someone we can go to," he said. "It's nice to have a manager that's so personable and willing to get to know his players."
