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.
— Will Leitch (@williamfleitch) January 6, 2021
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.
