""I would be remiss not to say something about Bailey not being here today," Carbery said. "Getting to know her over the last two and a half years, yeah, I'm just thinking about her. And also know wherever her next stop is, whether it's in the DC area or somewhere else, know she'll do a fantastic job. She's an incredible person and really, really good at what she does.""
""I was among the layoffs at @washingtonpost today. It has been an absolute dream to be a small part of this incredible team. Covering the Caps has been an honor; being a beat writer is an all-consuming thing that I love deeply. I hope I'll get to continue that in whatever is next" - Bailey Johnson (@BaileyAJohnson_) February 4, 2026"
