HOUSTON – The MLB trade deadline has now passed and the asking price for a weekly Twitter mailbag to be the final piece of someone’s baseball coverage was simply too high. You don’t move this sort of production without a major return.
Sources confirm that the Twitter mailbag will remain in the organization and the Times will make it part of the future and build around it. Credit goes to Ryan Divish, who was the first to report this situation.
And there is no truth to the reports that columnist Larry Stone was being aggressively shopped in a package that included Seahawks writer Bob Condotta in a blockbuster deal.
