Kevin Goldstein, who was plucked from BA by Luhnow, only to run into major problems as part of the cheating scandal, has resurfaced, with Fangraphs. Craig Edwards left them just a few days ago to join the MLBPA working on CBA matters.
Super excited to let everyone know that I've joined the incredible team at FanGraphs. Can't wait to get going. An intro (or re-intro for some of you): https://t.co/tvC7wu6rSD

Indeed I am joining the great team at @HeraldSports as a Senior Baseball Contributor. Miami Marlins coverage is a passion of mine and I am honored to join the squad. Should be fun.

So, just got off the phone with the boss. The good news is, my golf game is about to get much better. The better news is, I get to see what else is out there for me. Strange days. I've been so lucky. Thanks for everything. See you out there. Be well. Be kind. And keep going.

Sad news regarding Pedro Gomez of ESPN. He was 58.

MLB making more cuts…
Some personal news: Yesterday morning I learned that my position was included in MLB’s latest round of layoffs. I’m shocked, sad — but also incredibly thankful for what the company has done for my family and me in the past 5 1/2 years. (1/3)

Still wondering if/when The Athletic can become profitable…
Sources: @TheAthletic has held "merger talks" with @axios as "part of a plan to build a larger online-publishing company that could include going public" through an SPAC.https://t.co/C24ZksrS8N

Post-Dispatch in attack mode. My view is that if your approach is to subscribe to only one site, you are going to miss out on a lot of important information.
Our online "competitor" said they were going to bleed newspapers dry. They advertise #stlcards coverage but have no #stlcards writer and haven't produced a story on the #stlcards since mid-February. I don't mean to sound catty, but you be the judge. We'll just keep rolling along. https://t.co/DF8aGv4gff

The Athletic has hired Katie Woo to be their new Cardinals beat writer. She started work today.
MLB Network has fired Ken Rosenthal for his criticism of Rob Manfred. I see journalistic integrity isn’t welcomed at the league office.
The New York Times reached a $550 million deal to buy The Athletic, an online sports news outlet with 1.2 million subscriptions. https://t.co/gVJ0oygqnD

Another Cardinals beat writer turns over at MLB.com. The replacement will be the third since Jenifer Langosch left.
Some news: I’m coming home.
Today is my first day as the Orioles beat reporter for https://t.co/Jh4oEw1u4u. I’m eager for this new challenge and to intertwine even more with the city, org., press box and fanbase. This Marylander is excited to be back in Baltimore covering ball.

The former Scout guys who licensed the Sports Illustrated name missed their quarterly payment and are out. I feel sorry for what was once a great brand, but not for the guys in charge. They have a long history of running their businesses into the ground. How they can continue to get investment capital amazes me.

It sounds like there are/were more writers/content creators than I thought. What were they all doing? All I ever saw from SI were the click bait articles with a headline that sounded like something was afoot but were actually just something somebody thought would be a “good fit”.
I can only speak to baseball, not other sports. They initially tried to recruit publishers, ala Scout, but ended up buying FanNation. Their blogger content is what you likely saw.
SI still had a magazine, etc., but a lot of their experienced journalists were laid off when TheMaven, now The Arena Group acquired the rights to use the brand name. Now all of them are being let go.
As of this morning, SI and FanNation sites are down. Guessing those who ran them are gone.
If my only work choices were to retire or work for them, I would call it quits… Thank goodness not…
My Google supplied feed on my android phone is where those articles constantly pop up. There is one there now from ’17 hrs ago’, which would have been Friday. If they go away, I will not be sorry.

Brian, speaking of retirement how long do you plan to keep this site going? I hope it is for at least another 20 years. I don’t want to contemplate looking for another Cardinals related message board.
Don’t know how much debt they have but their name and foto archives (if they still own them) would be worth millions
CC, Arena Group did not own the SI brand. They just leased the use of the name from the owner, Authentic Brands. I am almost sure Arena Group does not control any of the SI legacy assets. It will be interesting to see what Authentic Brands, which is a licensing company of intellectual assets, does from here. Their original investment in SI has to be depressed now…
I have a SI.com story dated today on the Google news feed, Writer is ‘Patrick McAvoy’. The banner is FanNation Inside the Cardinals. Its about Brebbia signing with the Chisox.
Drip, drip, drip…
L.A. Times management has notified me that 94 @latguild members are being notified of intended layoff today, or about one-fourth of our whole membership.
This total, while devastating, is nonetheless far lower than the total number of Guild layoffs initially expected last week.
