ESPN is where newspaper guys go for money--TJ Quinn

TJ Quinn's words in SI show why ESPN has gained control of baseball information:

• "Not to put too fine a point on it, but there is a world of difference between what TV (ESPN) pays you and what newspapers pay you. You hate that to be a deciding factor, but I have three kids. That alone isn't enough, but it pushes you in that direction.""
