In case you hadn’t heard, I’m beyond pleased to share that I’m back at the San Jose Mercury News/Bay Area News Group as the San Francisco Giants beat reporter.

Once I get my bearings here in Arizona, I’ll figure out a way I can cross-post everything from the new-old Extra Baggs/Giants Extra blog so everything appears in this space as well. Until then, you can find our coverage here and here.

If you’re interested in the upcoming book, Giant Splash, I’ll make sure to provide updates here. More book news: MiSFits is being reprinted in paperback form, and should be available very soon! The new cover looks great.

Thanks so much for all the words of support in the comments here. It’s the best kind of fuel I could hope to stick in my tank as another baseball season gets underway. It’s my privilege and pleasure to cover it for you.
