John Perrotto

Perotto is a regular contributor to the “BP Daily” column on ESPN Insider and a writer for the Baseball Prospectus annual book.

For BP, he wrote two by-lined columns, “On the Beat” and “Every Given Sunday,” covering news and inside dope on organizational activities in all of Major League Baseball.

[1] Perrotto had left his position as a reporter for the Beaver County Times in December, 2008 after the paper scaled back its beat coverage of the Pirates team.

In October, 2009, Perotto was replaced by veteran baseball writer-columnist Paul Ladewski, a decision that left him admittedly bitter and angry.

It wasn't long before he was at odds with site founder and editor-in-chief Dejan Kovacevic over content and business decisions, however, and his tenure lasted less than two seasons.
