Yeah, pretty much anyone who has read or seen anything from Reilly has to have figured he's been mailing in his entire ESPN deal. Meanwhile, Dan Patrick actually improves the overall quality of Sports Illustrated's output. Not a bad swap.

MLB is trying to set up the Red Sox with literally anyone because they don't have a natural NL rival. They're also trying Sox-Braves because of the whole "Boston Braves" thing which was relevant in like 1950.

I can see how they might want to use that for low priority games because even paying someone say 3 hours to watch a game, and then say 30-60 minutes to write and edit a short column like that is going to cost at least $250. Multiply that by the hundreds of games like that and it makes sense. That computer summary is totally worthless though, it's just a straight up reading of the box score, for obvious reasons.

wait really, I got paid about a hundred bucks a go to write as a stringer for a Serious Business newspaper.

there aren't that many additional costs associated with the process.
