With pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training today, I'm excited to share that next week I'll be starting a new role as a content producer for @MLB!
Very excited to work with so many great writers and editors, and to be around the best sport in the world all year long.
“I cannot confirm or deny any extra magic that may be coming from the White Sox." Fans understandably wanted a giveaway based on Mike Vasil's magical dugout wand. Well, read the story below and stay tuned for the possibility of it coming to fruition: mlb.com/news/mike-vasil-whit…

William Contreras hit one of the 11 homers between the Brewers and A’s and sat down on his backside to watch it fly.
If you stayed up late, you saw a doozy. I thought Coors Field was crazy but I’d never witnessed baseball in Las Vegas. mlb.com/news/joel-kuhnel-joi…
#Angels prospect Denzer Guzman was called up along with 1B Trey Mancini, who is back in the Majors for the first time since July 31, 2023. Both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) were placed on the IL: mlb.com/angels/news/angels-c…
Michelle was always a pleasure during the time I spent around the Northwestern program, and she's one of the best pitch-callers in the game. I'll be rooting for you, @Mgascoigne32!
I went to my first Women's College World Series last night and found no evidence of the "crisis" and "broken system" they keep talking about in the Senate.

What a meaningful Gehrig Day 💙😭
I watched every game & want to thank everyone involved — on air, field, behind scenes in stands — for honoring Gehrig & advocating for people with ALS
This disease is inextricably linked to baseball & I’m proud MLB continues to step up💙
Sarah Langs is Working.
For Lou Gehrig Day I talked to and wrote about baseball’s indomitable stat queen, who is producing just as much as ever.
“A great note isn’t great because it came from someone with ALS — it just is. There’s no park adjustments.”

Taylor Tinsley almost at 200 pitches! An ABSOLUTE DAWG for UCLA! She’s been that all year long!! But doesn’t go without saying you can’t say it enough about the GRIT she’s shown 🥹🥹🥹
Along with so many talented writers, I was unfortunately among the writers laid off at Sports Illustrated today. Over 4 years later and I’m so proud of the stories and work I’ve done there.
My DMs and email (madison22.mw@gmail.com) are open. Looking forward to the next thing.
The Mariners cruised to a much-needed win tonight here in Sacramento.
But it came with more drama within this tandem turn through the rotation, featuring Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller.
“This is not an easy science, the piggyback thing.”

Aaron Civale's velo was down roughly 3 mph on Monday in a tough start against the Mariners.
“The intensity, I just haven’t been able to get that,” Civale said.
Now, the righty is likely headed to the injured list.
