Brendan Bianowicz is back with a bunch of updates to the GM Trade History series. The Excel spreadsheets linked below cover each GM's trades, free agent signings, and top draft picks via tabs along the bottom. It's interesting to see each GM's most frequent trade partner – for example, Omar Minaya has matched up with Larry Beinfest and Mark Shapiro most often in his career.
- Washington Nationals – Jim Bowden and Mike Rizzo
- Philadelphia Phillies – Pat Gillick and Ruben Amaro Jr.
- New York Mets – Omar Minaya
- Florida Marlins – Larry Beinfest and Michael Hill
- Atlanta Braves – Frank Wren
Yeah, you are going to go ahead and have to do this with Jim Hendry – STAT!
