Happy to be back in the The New York Times today, this time in the Style section on one very hairy subject! #Yankees #RedSox Matty Conrad #Dbacks Cameron Maybin

Haha, yes, nice to be back in the The New York Times on a hairy subject:

On their third attempt (since 2012), the #Dodgers got their man in Shohei Ohtani. Column for The Messenger with lotta background from my experiences covering him as to WHY this always was the likely endgame:

Column as we all take a breath: The Los Angeles Dodgers Were the Only Team That Made Sense for Shohei Ohtani - The Messenger themessenger.com/sports/shohei-…

Mike Shildt is great choice for #Padres . But that does not mean this will work. This hire more about whether A.J. Preller can successfully work with ANY manager. The answer so far is no. Column ⁦The Messenger⁩ themessenger.com/sports/mike-sh…

Bruce Bochy, American classic. His magic has worked everywhere but T-ball, as he told his grandson last year. Now he leads his #Rangers into #ALCS against #Astros , Game 1 tonight, giddyup. For The Messenger themessenger.com/sports/bruce-b…

Bruce Bochy is an American classic. On one of the all-time greats, before Game 1 of ALCS Sunday, for ⁦The Messenger⁩ #Rangers #ALCS themessenger.com/sports/bruce-b…

Where #Dbacks and #Dodgers are concerned, one thing is key for Arizona: C Gabriel Moreno being in the lineup. Don't sleep on THAT guy (even though those outside of our AZ friends may not know him well!) For The Messenger themessenger.com/sports/gabriel…

Beautiful remembrance of our friend Jim Caple here from Steve Buckley, who was welcomed onto the Seattle Mariners beat in 1989 & shown around Washington by Jim, a proud Huskies alum

Absolutely lovely tribute to great friend Jim Caple, one-of-a-kind, from his nephew Christian Caple. Thanks for this, Christian, as we all plod ahead through the sorrow

Takeaways from A.J. Preller #Padres press conf:

Bob Melvin is returning.
Padres stars didn't all consistently play like stars.
Team needs to make sure that happens next year.
Everything else is fine, give or take.
No significant changes in operating philosophy.

A.J. Preller: Bob Melvin is our manager and will be our manager going forward. 'Both he and I very excited about challenges getting this group back to postseason next year.'

Still having difficulty processing losing Jim Caple, an all-timer both as teammate & friend. Thank you Minnesota Twins for beautiful tribute today. So many Metrodome nights w/ Jim & the Twins, telling their story & enjoying our own. Grateful for memories that eventually will bring smiles

Wainwright gets one more AB in St. Louis today. Write about his career here, sorry I missed one thing, the pregame puppy from his wife - surprise!

Beautiful sight to see Comerica Park packed these past two days in tribute to Miguel Cabrera, and simply unbelievable exit for him at 1B today, backhanding a ground ball for a 3-U. What a finale in Detroit.

Gonna be a cool, emotional weekend in #StLCards town. And Adam Wainwright is going to SING to the fans? Come visit us The Messenger for three chords & the truth. First pitch today there for me with this:

So I'll be hanging out The Messenger for the next little bit, starting now. Appreciate Adam Wainwright sitting down the other day for this fun look at his, in today's parlance, Immaculate Career
