The only newspaper now provided in the clubhouse is USA Today, whose coverage of the Mets is very limited.
Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz confirmed the removal of the tabloids, but claimed it was because the club “didn’t want to play favorites among the New York newspapers.”
Horwitz also said the Mets chose to provide USA Today because “it is the official paper of Major League Baseball,” even though USA Today is published by Gannett.
The Post adds that
The newspapers were a staple of the Mets’ clubhouse for decades at Shea Stadium, but a source said team management didn’t want the players exposed to the “bad vibes” from the tabloids after back-to-back September collapses.
I’m surprised that the Mets can’t afford the $5 it would cost to have all the locals.
