There are a lot of rumors that will involve the Atlanta Braves this Summer. That’s what happens for both buyers and sellers once you’re within shouting distance of the trade deadline. But hopefully some of writing on the topic will stop to think a bit before hitting the ‘submit’ button.
Even respectable reporting outlets are getting caught up with this idea of dismantling the New York Mets right now. It reminds of old Dilbert comics in which an employee quits or gets fired and the rest of the office staff immediately descends on the poor soul to scavenge his “stuff”… and that’s not unlike this new fashionable thing of seeing writers trying to start a rebuild on their behalf.
