The AL East. One of baseball’s most historic divisions. Each team with its own storied history, and that history has made it one of the most entertaining divisions in pro sports. Looking ahead to the 2023 season, it seems that the AL East is wide-open… or is it? Using FanGraphs ZiPS, I’ll show you this […]
Value, value, value. It seems that’s all we look for as consumers nowadays. How can we get the cheapest things but have them still be good quality? When it comes to things fashion, that often involves buying clothes from companies that pay slave wages in overseas sweatshops. When it comes to food, there’s always an […]
It’s fantasy baseball draft time. With that comes a discussion over who the 1.01 should be. I broke down the more conventional 1.01 picks last week (check that article out here), but who wants to go for the conventional choice? Spice things up, go big, go for that home-run pick. Now, that doesn’t mean you […]
It’s about that time of year folks. Recent minor-league signings of players like Kevin Pillar are functionally harbingers of fantasy baseball draft season. The main focus of any fantasy baseball draft – for better or worse – is that first pick. While the season is not won or lost on that 1.01 selection, a metaphorical home […]
Don’t draft Trevor Bauer in fantasy baseball. Don’t. There are many reasons why you shouldn’t be itching to draft the pitcher in fantasy baseball. I’ll try my best to convince you. Nobody Likes Trevor Bauer I’m not interested in jumping to conclusions on multiple ongoing sexual assault investigations. Regardless of his clearance through the US […]
As first reported by former MLB all-star Carlos Baerga, the Red Sox have retained the services of Rafael Devers for the rest of the decade (and a bit more) in a massive 11-year/$331 million contract extension. This deal is understandably important, as it will effectively determine the direction that one of the league’s biggest teams […]
After the post-winter meetings signings wave, MLB free agency moves slowly. However, these last two weeks have surprisingly brought a number of impact moves. Impact moves that’ll, of course, have a significant impact on the calculus of fantasy baseball drafts. Here’s what to make of recent MLB free agency moves: Carlos Correa to the New […]
After a failed physical, the Giants put their signing of Carlos Correa on hold. It was likely a minor issue — the Giants simply would’ve been looking to slightly lower the terms of their 13-year/$350 million mega-deal. This hold, however, allowed the Mets to swoop in and pick up Correa on a 12-year/$315 million deal […]
We are a week removed from winter meetings (which I covered last week), but most post-winter-meeting moves are made in the week following. In this past week, we’ve seen superstars capture massive deals, and we’ve seen unexpected low and mid-level signings. There’s plenty to dissect from a fantasy baseball perspective, so let’s get to it: […]
While MLB free agency is already in full swing, the market takes a while to reach its boiling point. Ironically, it’s the winter meetings where the hottest moves of the free agency period are made. There has been a flurry of big moves at the Winter Meetings, and more are in the pipeline. Of course, […]
