Good morning, Athletics Nation!
Do you hear that, friends? It’s the sound of a slow news day in baseball. Remember when these used to happen all the time?
Nobody ultra-famous died, no teams tested positive for coronavirus, no new natural disasters emerged except the ones we’re already dealing with, no new labor disputes arose, and so on. The sun came up, a bunch teams played baseball, you maybe didn’t even go to work/Zoom because it was Labor Day, and then the sun went down and we went to bed. It was glorious.
Of course, things happened, but they were within the range of normal everyday occurrences.
