When I worked in DC our office moved to 15th and K. Best feature of the office space was that the cafeteria looked out at the Washington Post building. Just seeing the building was like seeing a celebrity every day. What Bezos has done to the paper is just devastating.

mini scoop: After MLB's seized control of the player tracking tech biz, the league missed its Jan 15 deadline for approving vendors. Teams don't know long they can use their tech to scout players. Some firms don't know if they'll have a baseball business. Pitchers and catchers report in... 2 weeks!

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege.

Marlins Claim Osvaldo Bido
The Marlins have claimed right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Rays, reports Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extra Base. Tampa Bay designated Bido for assignment last week. Miami has an open spot on the 40-man roster after trading lefty Ryan Weathers to the Yankees, so a corresponding move won’t be necessary. More to come.
