I have never allowed advertising on this blog, but I have to say that Chad Jennings's "The Annotated Guide To Xander Bogaerts' Heartfelt Extension Press Conference" is a perfect example of why I'm happy to subscribe to The Athletic.
The article gives you the news, of course, but presents it from a different angle, with unique viewpoints and quotes that are less cliche than what you often read in the daily papers. There are no game stories at The Athletic, so pretty much all of their coverage is feature articles. One cool story from 2018 was Jen McCaffrey's look at how the team got the metal plates with triple-digits for the AL East standings on the Green Monster (for both Boston wins and Baltimore losses).
