Yahoo Sports Tops Sports Illustrated in Bidding For Adrian Wojnarowski
Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo’s NBA news-breaking machine, has decided to stay
at the company after Sports Illustrated made a serious run at him, multiple
sources tell The Big Lead.
Wojnarowski confirmed via email he was returning to Yahoo, but deferred
further comment to Yahoo Sports. An announcement is expected this week.
In June during the NBA Finals, Sports Illustrated felt good about its chances
to poach Woj, in hopes of creating a Peter King-like MMQB website vertical
for basketball. But in the weeks that followed, SI sources say they grew
worried about luring him once Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer got involved in
discussions.
Industry sources say Mayer made a significant long-term commitment to build
an NBA-type franchise around Wojnarowski, who has been at Yahoo since 2006.
大意翻译：运动画报很积极地追Woj,但最后仍与Yahoo续约,Yahoo承诺会为他打造一支团队
*Woj从06年就待在Yahoo
嗯，这大概是休赛期间最大咖的一笔签约了吧XD
