Anyways, yeah. This is an incalculable loss for the region and sports journalism. It will be jarring to wake up in the morning — in one of the biggest metro areas in the country — and not have a sports section (and so many other great parts of The Post) to turn to.

Also, it was really nice that my final story for the Post was one I co-bylined with @andrewcgolden (and was edited, as always, by an incredible team of editors).

We did some great work together

The sports section basically taught me how to read growing up. Somehow, years later, they let me write in those pages. I’ll cherish that forever.

He keeps every story I write in boxes in his home. He calls me to ask if I know when my stories make it on the front page of the sports section.

It’s an honor to be part of the @postsports.bsky.social team. Always have felt that way but especially today.

One other note that doesn’t fit in this lil format: shortstops don’t carry the same injury risks that pitchers do, so the Nationals (probably) don’t have to worry as much about a big blow to Abrams’ value the same way they would Gore. That’s something we touched on here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrgCpP3A/
