While the media and some fans may not want to let it go, my fervent wish is that ALL the players shut them down with a simple, "It's over and done. It was overblown to begin with. We just want to get out there and play ball."
If they do that two or three times and refuse to discuss it any longer, the media will have to move on.
Of course, there is a small cadre of journalists that will always try to poke a stick at an abandoned hive to see if they can get it to buzz one more time, but that small group is pretty well known to most fans.
