Extremes

I don’t get it, how mlb.com lurches from one extreme to another. Right now, MLB’s mouthpiece is in its breathless, gossipy phase. Will the Mets pull off a blockbuster trade for pitcher Tarik Skubal? What are the chances Alex Bregman re-signs with the Red Sox? Take a look at the three-year deal closer and “absolute stud” Robert Suarez signed with the Braves. Report the news or fan the desire of front offices to make news? Either way works for mlb.com Then, Boom! Work stoppage, and the site has nothing to say, or had nothing to say once the player lockout began in December of 2021. Odds are the same thing will happen again with another lockout predicted when the CBA ends after next season. From rumors to crickets in a flash. How mature.
