"ESPN actually approached me because they wanted to do an exclusive story on the man who hits home runs at all these inopportune times.

"This fall, right around the time the Castellanos story happened, the NFL Players Association announced that it was seeking to move all media interviews out of team locker rooms."
"2025 will be the year when sports journalists start to really reckon with the fact that teams and players don't need them anymore."
"What’s notable about Castellanos is that he's not one of baseball's biggest stars... he's a big-league player who, like so many athletes, has realized he no longer needs sports media the way previous generations did."
