What happened to mailbags?

Just before the holidays in December, my Reds Mailbag was published with the following sentence:

The mailbag will return on Jan. 5, 2009.

I accidentally lied to you. A couple of days later, we learned mailbags were being shelved and were not to be seen again. I apologize to all of those that sent in questions that went unanswered.

The good news is that after some reconstructive surgery and a trip through the witness relocation program, the Q&A forum will be coming back. Since “Mailbag” is so 20th century, the new incarnation is called “Reds Inbox.” It won’t be posted every Monday like the mailbag was but will pop up every so often when there’s a news event or issues that need answers and opinion.

The email address is the same: mark.sheldon@mlb.com. Just put ‘Reds Inbox’ in the subject line please and include your first name, last initial and city and state.
