Bio
Geoff Grant
Spencer was part of our early group of ground-breaking reporters for MLB.com, and in a job that demanded 24/7 coverage when that was not the norm, he was prolific, reliable, professional and able to cover a wide array of topics with distinction.
Carlos Frías
Spencer disarms you with his wit and impresses you with his knowledge of the topic he's writing about. When he covered baseball for MLB.com, I always found his stories to be incisive, through and entertaining. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a writer, reporter or in any field where attention to detail is a vital requirement.
