    Can confirm MLB Network has decided not to bring me back. I’m grateful for the more than 12 years I spent there, and my enduring friendships with on-air personalities, producers and staff. I always strove to maintain my journalistic integrity, and my work reflects that. 1/2

    The eight-game suspension for Joe Kelly in a 60-game season is the equivalent of a 22-game suspension in a 162-game season. Seems…harsh.

    Personal news: I am undergoing back surgery tomorrow. Had surgery for scoliosis when I was 17 and need additional work done, so you won’t hear from me for a while. Goal is to be back by Opening Day - in the best shape of my life!
