Joe Maddon Turns Down Offer to Lead NotGraphs Coverage for Remainder of Blog’s Existence
Obviously, the first thing we did here at NotGraphs after hearing the news about Joe Maddon opting out of his contract with the Rays was reach out to him and see if he was interested in a new, lucrative, long-term opportunity. Would he be interested in leading NotGraphs coverage in a lifetime contract to cover the remainder of the blog’s existence?
He would not be.
It is our loss.
(But Hopeless Joe is relieved. He likes being the only Joe.)
