The off-season is a fun time to be a writer, because we get to talk about hypothetical signings, trades, and draft picks, and there’s usually a lot of optimism about things that could happen. At the same time though, when your team doesn’t make the playoffs, the off-season can be excruciatingly long.
I love the time around mid-June to early July when the hotstove is turned back on, and we get to discuss the draft and free agency, but besides that, things can be pretty slow. I’ll always be able to come up with ideas for articles even when nothing is happening, but sometimes it can be a challenge.
