Excited to announce I have joined the @thejaysnation team! Here's why I think the Blue Jays should get emotional in their efforts to re-sign Bo Bichette: bluejaysnation.com/news/why-the-b…

All the expected stats say Vladimir Guerrero Jr. should be putting up MVP-level stats… so why isn’t he? My opinion is that his attack angle is holding him back: open.substack.com/pub/benwrixon/…

Started a Substack to do some baseball-related writing. My first blog takes stock of five of the biggest breakout players on the Toronto Blue Jays - here’s who I think will keep it going in the second half👇 substack.com/home/post/p-16…

@JGoldberg12 Man. It was a pleasure working with you and learning from you. You’re an absolute machine with a very human sense of humour. I have no doubt you’re going to crush it wherever you wind up next. Keep the Blue Jays memes coming!

My time at theScore came to an end. The nature of a tough business. Whatever the future holds, just know you can always count on me shit posting about the Blue Jays on this godforsaken platform. Appreciate you 🫡

@nickmfaris @theScore So bummed to hear this. You’re amazing at what you do and someone I look up to… I have no doubt you’re going to crush your next chapter!

I'm a free agent because of the job cuts at @theScore. I leave with immense pride in our team's reporting and analysis. I told stories about every major sport, and I’m grateful for the support of great colleagues and trust of interview sources. DMs are open to discuss what’s next

@Travis_Sawchik I, like you, am also now a free agent after yesterday. You’re undoubtedly one of the stars of the class, though. Your work was one of the things that inspired me to apply there and I’m excited to see what you do next!

Some personal news: I am a free agent. I am among those being laid off by theScore/Penn Gaming. I look forward to whatever is next in journalism, or baseball, or elsewhere. My direct messages and email are open.

I was laid off yesterday by @theScore like so many others. It was incredibly disappointing, but my time there was an amazing opportunity to get my foot in the sports journalism door and write baseball for a living. I’m grateful they took a chance on me and am excited for what comes next!

Rays announce start of negotiations to sell team. thescore.com/news/3301587

@Josh_theJaysFan Finnegan feels like a great fit, but I'm not sure Peralta is the saviour people are hoping he might be. K/9 is way down and the command is always liable to disappear at a moment's notice. Metrics imply regression... wouldn't be my first choice if I was emptying the farm 🤷‍♂️
