I just bit the bullet and subscribed to the Athletic since it was 50% off. I subscribed because I wanted more insight into Allen's departure and the Arena situation. After reading the articles I feel like I got only 50% of the info. I like Craig Morgan and the AZ Republic guy is fine, but neither one is asking the tough questions or, even better, investigating. These guys are supposed to be journalists but their stories read more like they're Yotes employees. What gives?
The Morgan article on Allen was a joke. I have more questions after reading the article than answers. The explanation (I mean speculation) for Allen's departure is also a joke. Morgan even responded to a comment about his article with a statement that paraphrasing "It's Tochs decision." A real journalist is supposed to find out the real back story.. The article has no back story. The article discusses Maclean taking on new roles. What? Morgan should be questioning why Maclean wasn't fired. He ran the offense and PP but he stays.. What gives? I remember the FOG but Maclean should be no where near a Yotes player IMO. Why doesn't Morgan at least question Toch about these personnel moves?
Same goes for the arena situation. I waited an entire season for news. Morgan interviewed Toch and Cohen a hundred times but no tough questions.. why? We still are left to speculate about Yotes future in AZ without either journalist trying to get real answers.
As the topic reads, journalism is truly dead. I just wasted money on the Athletic.
