I was extremely fortunate to have the supremely talented Begonia as my tour guide in Winnipeg. People need to stop writing this city off. theglobeandmail.com/life/travel/ar…

What does a 15-month ascent from highly touted prospect to World Series Game 5 hero look like? Here’s what it’s looked like for Trey Yesavage: thescore.com/mlb/news/33824…

“It's been a very special season. I can't tell you how proud I am of him to overcome the adversity that he had last year." It’s been a remarkable year for George Springer. The Jays are hoping he can lead them to a World Series. thescore.com/mlb/news/33426…

@Ollie_Westbury Thanks for your hard work, Ollie. You made it a lot easier to follow Salop from Canada.

🚨News 🚨 After three years I will be leaving my role as Shrewsbury Town reporter for the Shropshire Star. It’s been a privilege to cover the club. A journey which has had many ups and downs. I’ve become a fan as much as anything and I will always follow it. #Salop

@MLSist You've produced some of the best soccer features I've read down the years. The next place you work for will be extremely lucky to have you.

I am still very much looking for my next full-time opportunity. I’m still committed to finding a home for my writing, and I still believe there’s a place out there for thoughtful, intelligent feature writing & commentary on all things related to 🇺🇸 soccer.

*Some professional news*: After 7+ years, my time at The Athletic is coming to an end in June. I have dozens of great feature ideas & am eager to keep doing great work ahead of the World Cup and beyond. My DMs are open - please reach out, or find me at pablomaurer.com

@sportscaddy @theScore Sad times. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and I hope we do it again in the near future. You're a class act.

I'm exceptionally proud of the work I did for @theScore over the last decade as one of the newsroom's most senior writers and editors. Unfortunately, I was part of Thursday's mass layoff that upended one of Canada's best sports brands. Over my time as an editor with supervisor-level credentials, I covered three Euros, two World Cups, the four tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, the Tour de France, and parts of the Summer and Winter Olympics. I helped create the pilot for a live blog that generated hundreds of thousands of views from just a handful of test runs and wrote original features on Napoli's historic 2023 Scudetto and Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup, as well as tributes to the late Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff, and Muhammad Ali. I want to thank @GianlucaNesci for hiring me in 2015 and letting me live out a young sportswriter's dream and allowing me to grow and pitch ideas. Thanks to my friends and colleagues @GordBrunt and @DanielJRouse for the daily banter and incredible team spirit; @rorybarrs, @vaswani_, and his team of supervisors for pushing my work to an international audience and holding me in such high esteem; and the copy editors who elevated my work.

@GordBrunt You're a beaut. An unbelievable colleague and an absolute stunner of a human being.

But seriously, for the few who see this, thescore was the best job I ever had. I doubt I'll ever have as much fun "working". Much more, on top of working my dream job for 10+ years, I'll be forever grateful for the chance to work with the outrageously talented soccer crew. Gonna miss you guys.
