Happy New Year, Athletics Nation! Unfortunately I have some bittersweet news to begin 2019, but it’s for the best possible reason so really it’s happy news. Our friend Frederic_Henry will be stepping back from the daily Elephant Rumblings, because his family has recently developed a new rookie from their farm system and so his time and energy are needed at home. Thank you Frederic (Jack) for doing such great, consistent, reliable work over the last two years, and the whole community wishes you the best!
Fear not, though, because AN won’t be missing a beat. Next week, a familiar face will return to the front-page lineup to ensure that we get our serving of fresh, hot links every morning, or at least three days a week until spring starts.
