Reporting centers on the arc of a season — from spring training and the trade deadline through playoff races and the postseason — alongside signings, injuries and roster moves. Coverage reaches the neighborhoods around the ballparks, from Greenwich Village and Harlem to Williamsburg and Chelsea, and the New York County agencies that stadium operations run through. Two Major League clubs in one market give the trade deadline and postseason a second storyline regardless of the standings. Contract negotiations and front office decisions draw sustained attention year round, given the market size and the financial scale of the clubs involved.
