Scott’s Shots has confirmed that longtime Providence Journal baseball man, Sean McAdam is leaving the paper to join the staff at the Boston Herald. ProJo staffers were informed of the move this afternoon.
McAdam has been on staff at the ProJo since 1985 and on the Red Sox beat since 1989. He was born in Lowell, grew up in Chelmsford and is a 1977 graduate of Chelmsford High School. He graduated from Providence College in 1981 with a PoliSci degree.
Scott’s Shots will have much more on the move in Friday’s regularly scheduled edition, so please check back.

1Have to love the Herald. Everyone leaves them for dead with the new-and-improved WEEI.com (but is it really?) and beefed-up Globe, and what do they do? They grab the best, most-respected baseball writer in New England on the heels of locking up Ron Borges. I wasn’t high on the latter, but it’s a lot easier to swallow with McAdam aboard. Borges always seems to have an ax to grind, but at least he stirs it up. I find the Globe more and more — well, I guess boring is the best word to describe it. Anyway, great move by the Herald. Right back on the sports radar in Boston sports media.

2This is great. Since the Herald increased the price to 75 cents I was hardly getting the paper for my subway ride into Boston. Now I will start getting it more.
