re: How did MLB survive Steve Carlton never speaking to the media?

It doesn't bother me at all. All coaches just sit up there and lie. Most players give generic pre scripted answers. If they are even at least a little forthcoming, the media twists it to fit an agenda. Could get the player in hot water with the coach, owner, fans, teammates... If we didn't have a media that thrives on chaos, these issues wouldn't exist for the most part. But the dishonesty amongst these reporters looking to get clicks is out of control. I refuse to listen to any interviews during the season and not many during the offseason. Whats the point when these guys are too scared to say anything to actually say anything?
