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.
大意翻譯：運動畫報很積極地追Woj,但最後仍與Yahoo續約,Yahoo承諾會為他打造一支團隊
*Woj從06年就待在Yahoo
嗯，這大概是休賽期間最大咖的一筆簽約了吧XD
