Trading for Carson Wentz when Deshaun Watson is available is a little like trading up to draft Mitchell Trubisky when Deshaun Watson is available.

Chris Bassitt was lauded for his leadership with A’s. Bob Melvin absolutely loved him. There’s risk in the age of most of the Mets rotation, but it has a chance to be one of the strongest staffs in the NL. Outstanding pickup.

How incredible is The Braves run? They opened play on June 2nd, 10.5 games behind the Mets. Since then, the Mets have played at a .595 clip. That’s a 96 win pace and The Braves have caught them! Atlanta’s ~.718 Winning percentage would be a 116 win season over a full year!

So, local coverage is bad? This is stupid. The Athletic being local is a feature not a bug. To the self important executives who want higher stock, but, STILL don't understand that the quality and credibility of your content drives eyes & ears: pound sand.
NEW from
@benjstrauss
on Athletic changes: "The NFL and EPL dominate reader interest, and staffing for those leagues remains mostly unchanged. Because NHL and Major League Baseball audiences are more local, those leagues will have some beats eliminated."

Baseball’s Hall needs a category to honor people like Dusty Baker with induction. Nearly 2000 wins as a manager, 5 teams to division titles, nearly 2000 hits, a pair of all-star games as a player. He’s one of the most important figures in baseball history.

I’d love to see others post some of their favorite stories. A veteran reporter said last night, Jake’s ability to connect with the people he covers is the best he’d seen in years.
The assault on his character today is sad, malicious & factually inaccurate.

What a great moment. Everyone is gonna miss Tito, but I’m glad he got this sendoff, even if he was reluctant to get the attention
What a moment. José Ramírez blocked the top of the steps to the dugout after the handshake line so Tito had to stay on the field and receive a longer ovation from the crowd. Then the rest of the team circled him and kept him out in front of a roaring crowd even longer.

Maybe I’m in the minority on this, but, I don’t need histories of sports shutting down a year ago since we’re still living through the same pandemic. Maybe wait a couple years? It’s still too close to the anxiety of last March for me to try and gain perspective.
