1. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman is not the first reporter who has gotten burned by the insatiable desire to be first.
However, when you screw up on the biggest story of the offseason, the blowback coming your way is going to be intense.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Heyman tweeted that “Arson Judge” appeared to be headed to the Giants. A little while later, Heyman said he jumped the gun on Aaron Judge’s free-agency decision and apologized. Then Heyman, who must have been flustered beyond belief, deleted all his Judge tweets. Just a complete trainwreck all around.
