Joe Posnanski is Leaving Sports Illustrated
By Jason McIntyre
“Yeah, that’s right,” Posnanski said in a brief phone call. “I’m leaving [SI] with mixed emotions.”
Posnanski said he’ll work the Masters this weekend for Sports Illustrated, but his departure date is still being worked out. He said it’s unclear what his exact role in the USA Today Sports Media Group will be.
Obviously, this is a big loss for Sports Illustrated, which lost its baseball “news” guy Jon Heyman to CBS Sports in December.
