Butera and Albernaz have a history, dating back to Butera's brief minor league career in the Tampa Bay Rays organization in 2015 and 2016, where Albernaz coached.

Butera may be the first major league manager to have an up-to-date LinkedIn account, while Albernaz also has one, although it's not current.
