Whoo! Go Jays!

Cool man. Loving this post. It’s really neat to get to read more about the writers at this site. MLBTR ROCKS!
Pharx
Slow day boys?

MLBTR is a site I check every single day. You guys do a great job… keeep up the great work.
Pharx
Ditto. I love the site, and I can guarantee I check it about 5 times each day. Seems like today has been slow though with a “Meet The Writers”, a RotoAuthority article of “Pitchers to Watch”, a “Market for Cuban Players” that has no new info, and a heads up of some possible 2012 Free Agents. It’s not an insult Dierkes, just an observation.

Try like 5 times a day. Great work guys!
Guest 2428
even 40 times per day. How’s that!
TheOne247
I refresh every 5 minutes…WHAT!!?!!

Damn, I was hoping that MLBTR would finally get pictures in at-least one article.

MLBTR rocks! I’ve been checking this website just about everyday since 2007. I remember seeing a post from Tim saying that he had taken MLBTR as a full-time job and thinking “Does it get that much attention?”. Glad it does, great job Tim and the rest of the MLBTR staff!
Koby2
I think you ought to hire me to make it an even 10.

Keep up the great work boys.
Not that your loaded with free time, but any hope you’ll start up a Website for my other love? Football?

Tim,
I’ve been a reader since the early days and appreciate the work the MLBTR team does for the sport. Baseball has always been a year long sport with different seasons, but the contribution your team has offered us has solidified that notion. You keep us tuned in even during the coldest months of winter.
And for that, we thank you.

In conclusion, Canada has the smartest baseball fans in the world.
Thanks Tim!

Good read. I have been checking this site daily for the past few years like many others, and I feel like it has made my baseball knowledge grow exponentially. There is always something going on at every point in the year, even when there isn’t, Tim and the crew find something to post about.
Here’s to many more years of great baseball coverage from the best site on the net!
donovanlamb
I check this site maybe 6 times a day, and have been consistently for the past few years. And today I’ve found out that Tim Dierkes in fact lives in my home town!! That is awesome except the fact he’s a cubs fan. Keep up the great work guys!!
Rootdown
Wow, so many Canadians. I knew there was something off about this site.
Just kidding guys, keep it up, and make less bad things happen to the Mets if you could.

The only thing the site is missing IMO is a mobile version of the site. My iPhone agrees.
Great work with the site Tim & crew.

What about mlbtraderumors.mobi?
Infield Fly
I can get the site on my mobile easy, but I can’t sign into Disqus no matter what I do.
Encarnacion's Parrot
I can get on the regular site easy, but the comment section half the time doesn’t load, and the odd time the disqus doesn’t load either. I believe you have to delete all the cookies to fix that problem.
Infield Fly
Thanks! I will definitely give that a shot.
Encarnacion's Parrot
Well paint me green and call me gumby. Thanks Tim for the heads up on the mobile page. It’s a little bland, but it’s simple and is bandwidth savvy.
Boz
there is a mobile site. it is mlbtraderumors.mobi i use it alot

“He grew up learning Spanish from the sides of taco trucks…” hilarious.

Would the walled city in Spain be Toledo?

You guys do an excellent job!
Tim, I didn’t know you went to UIUC. But I should’ve known only an ILLINI alum could have come up with such an excellent idea!
dizzle4
Errr… I never knew so many of the writers here were from Western. May have to stop coming to the site now…
Haha, kidding, great to see so many Jays fans around!
ellisburks
I, as a Canadian, am proud that so many other Canadians make this site what it is. However, unlike them I am not a Blue Jays fan, I am a Red Sox fan. And I am surprised that a fellow Ottawian like Ben would like the Jays, R.I.P. Les Expos. Anywho, good job guys!
lefty58
Nice job guys, I don’t always agree with your takes, but always enjoy the site.
Well done.
Johnny__Blaze
Great to meet the team behind the scenes. Keep up the great work, guys!
J. Bates
Nice work guys, keep it up, I appreciate it! I’m on the site about 10 times in an average day!
jeremyhomer
You guys are awesome. I consider you the online bible of player/team ongoings in baseball.
cderry
Shout out to Illinois! Tim, I grew-up in Macomb, but I now live in Bloomington-Normal, life-long White Sox fan.
lee57
Very Good job guys. I am constantly on this site. Avg about 8 hours a day. Even though I’m a die-hard red sox fan, I consider myself a fan of baseball in general. Tim, I think I started reading MLBTR around early 2008. Thank you for breaking down articles and generating a wealth of information. Even though I do not post comments often, I had to take the time today to give you guys my appreciation. Thank you very much and continue the great work you’re doing.

Hey Polischuk,
I remember that inside the infield home run you speak of. I believe I was on deck.
Keep up the great work gents!!

I realize this is more of a football thing, but I find myself wishing this site would have it.
What do you think about having a section with depth charts for each team. Sometimes I find myself arguing about who has a better rotation, the brewers or the reds, and I don’t have a good place to look that up. You could have contract length and salary next to the names as well.
If this does exist already or if it’s already on ROTO or something like that let me know.
jaybruce32
Tim, you’re doing such a great job and have created such a great community that I had the oppurtunity to write a college paper focusing on the community of mlbtr. I’d be happy to e-mail it to you if you’re interested in reading it.
BlueSkyLA
An impressive lineup of writers Tim, but how about someone west of the Rockies (the mountain range and the team)?
DoItDoug
I didn’t realize that there were Canadians on your team. Way to go. Go Jays.

If the Pirates can somehow grab another bat they’re going to compete until the end because they’ve done well against the NL Central…. except Milwaukee.

I was just trying to figure out how long I’ve been using this website. Then I found this page. I’m thinking 2010 was when I started. Finally created a screen name recently. Being newly retired has it’s advantages.

Where is George Miller’s bio? Is he still with the site?
Holy Cow!
The guy who would put out one article per shift?
baseballguru
I knew by reading the Redsox 2024 outlook that Darragh McDonald was a fan of one of the AL East Teams not named The Redsox. I was right. So the article talks about Devers moving to first, a C being needed, and that they may shop the bottom bin of the SP market. All of that is garbage
Boston will be looking into trades of Alex Verdugo & some prospects for Juan Soto if he becomes available and can be extended. I think in this example Yoshida gets moved for possibly an arm and to free up the DH Spot for the eventual move of Soto there soon as he is not a good OF defensive option. C we have 2 serviceable ones there now and Teel on the way and the main focus will be SP arms. Think 1 possibly 2 of of Yamamoto, Nola, Snell, Montgomery…and if it’s 1 a secondary arm from Stroman, Gray E-Rod, group. They will also need an everyday 2b and have options internal to fit there. Ohtani is possible if they believe he can pitch in 2025 which would dampen a Soto deal/Trade involving Verdugo and prospects but Yoshida could still be moved in that case. Due to the lack of power from Boston you could see both Soto and Ohtani and 1 Ace which would see both Yoshida and Verdugo gone and replace the upcoming Chris Sale departure after 2024 slotting Ohtani in that rotation spot. Cody Bellinger could also eliminate any Soto possibly being a straight free agent for much less in both dollars and eliminating any prospect loss. Verdugo and/or Yoshida would still be on the trade block for arms or a controlled 2b…possibly the NYY even Torres for Verdugo. Whit Merrifield remains the best 2b short stop gap as the 9 SS listed in the systems top 30 prospects vie for a spot at 2b/SS/Utility on the big club as Story is there another 4 seasons barring a trade there.
