Please do not take Jeff away from us
What the white sox breaking the loss record does to the sport
I didn’t know Passan even knew anything outside of baseball.
This would suck. The NBA honestly sucks these days due to how reliant they are on hot takes and narratives and drama (which by the way their fans love and feed heavily off of, just look at the NBA Reddit for one). In a lot of ways, it’s not a serious league to follow, which sucks since I love basketball. Losing Passan for that garbage coverage would be sad.
I will deflate every basketball before NBA games out of revenge
How would this even work? Would Woj just give Jeff every number in his phone?
If Passan leaves who would be the lead MLB guy? NBA was WOJ (now Shams by default), MLB is Passan and NFL is Schefter.
Man is so pissed about the A’s moving, he’s thinking about switching which sport he covers. Fuck Fisher, Fuck Manfred, and fuck the rest of the owners for not fighting this.
There’s been rumours ESPN is getting out of the baseball business
Passan Bombs in the NBA don’t sound right. Move Schefter to the NBA
If this is true it just means espn sees zero financial incentive in baseball.Â
He was just hanging with Wojnarowski yesterday…
He better fucking not.
Why does ESPN hate baseball so much?
Shows you what ESPN thinks of baseball
This better be an early April fools joke
Why does this make it sound like he doesn’t have sources/relationships and that literally anyone could just be chosen as the guy for breaking news?
Passan is possibly the best news breaking reporter. He rarely if ever speculates & still writes amazing articles every once in a while. Would be real unfortunate to lose him
Imagine having to cover the clown drama of the nba. Sounds awful.
JUST GIVE SHAMS THE GODFATHER OFFER AND LEAVE US ALONE ESPN
This is the funniest post ever after seeing this sub slobbering Jeff for “being a true baseball fan, not just a reporter” just the other day.
Would be the end of an era. But Jeff if they will 5x your salary you take that. Baseball will march on and we’ll still learn about breaking news
He’s a dork anyways.
Take Boob instead please
I was so happy for Woj…but if we lose Passan, then I will drive to Olean tomorrow and…angrily stare at the campus because I’m too afraid of prison to do anything else.
Ok so it’s between a guy with deeeep nba connections and a guy with deeeep mlb connections for an nba breaking news job. Sadly since this is ESPN it’s neck and neck ool
MLB > NBA
What type of horse shit is this?
Why take an MLB person instead of promoting an already established NBA person?
I thought these insiders had to build their sources in a given sport over time? ESPN can just tell every front office to text a certain guy for scoops? That kinda takes a little respect out of the position to me.
