In the wake of the slashing of the Washington Times sports department, many fans have been curious where beat writers Mark Zuckerman and Ben Goessling would end up. Mark Zuckerman has gone solo on Nats Insider and raised enough funding from fans to support him throughout spring training. Ben Goessling was hired by MASN and writes on their website, and presumably will continue appearances on Nats X-Tra pre/post game shows once the season begins.

I also get along with most media members and broadcasters (both radio and television). One television broadcaster has mentioned me during game broadcasts a handful of times this season and we've emailed back and forth about me teaching him how to effectively use Twitter (someday). His partner has mentioned his Twitter name (@rdibs49) ... Continue Reading
