    I'll be all over this. Great pickup. In his intro column for the site, he shares a few plays he made in MLB more than a decade ago and some are incredible. And he's up front in that he's not going to be writing a picks column, good for him.

    The Athletic: So do you wanna acquire us?

    NYT: Huh?

    The Athletic: Yknow, acquire us.

    NYT: Lol, sure whatever you say Glengarry Glen Ross (swigs rest of drink and closes bar tab)

    The Athletic: That counts as a verbal contract right? Watson, get all our kiss-asses on the phone and tell them we’re striking a deal! Big Internet moneys everywhere guy!

    Deep breath, deep breath. I make it a policy to stay out of these threads but I'm going to say a couple of quick things and get back to that.

    *Two of the best we have, Doug Haller and Anthony Slater, have been covering the Suns. I've dealt more with Anthony and he's always good. The times I've handled Doug's copy I've been impressed.

    *We've hired an Angels writer. Chill out Chris Long or find another bone to pick with us. Things happen sometimes. When I was in DC, my Redskins writer was hired away a week before the season opened. You scramble for a bit and adjust.

    Carry on.

    Take it up with AZ. Are they beat writers or have they been covering lately? Not the same thing

    Pretty sure the woman they laid off last summer, when they started acting like a real media company by getting rid of anyone at the first sign of trouble, is writing for the Suns now.

    Sounds like covering lately. Haller is usually colleges and Arizona State, Slater does the Warriors and is NBA at large.
