After nearly a decade as MLB.com’s executuive columnust, Richard Justice announced via Twitter that he’s leaving the league outlet.
Justice’s colleagues in the world of media offered their support:
Richard, you are one of the truly good people on the planet (and have always enjoyed coming across you on runs on the road). I have been reading you longer than I have known you and have always been a huge fan in every possible way. You’re the best, always.

Prior to joining MLB.com, Justice wrote for the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, and the Dallas Morning News. He’s also currently a contributor at Texas Monthly.
Justice’s departure is the latest in a winter of high turnover at MLB.com, with beat writers like Ken Gurnick, T.R. Sullivan, Greg Johns, and Jeffrey Flanagan all also leaving.
