MLBTR Originals

A look back at the original reporting and analysis found on MLBTR the last seven days:

• The MLB Trade Rumors podcast returned this week as host Jeff Todd spoke with Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald about the Red Sox’s surprising front office shakeup.  A new episode of the MLB Trade Rumors Podcast will be released every Thursday and can be accessed on iTunes, SoundCloud, and Stitcher.
• Recently, MLB Trade Rumors launched a brand new official Instagram account:@TradeRumorsMLB.  Each day, we’re sharing conversation-inspiring images about the hottest topics in baseball.  From there, we invite you to give us a like, weigh in with your thoughts in the comments section, and even share the link with a friend.  So, what are you waiting for?  If you don’t have an Instagram account, this is the perfect excuse to sign up and get one.  Follow us on Instagram today!
• Steve Adams examined Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna as a trade candidate.  Trading Ozuna would be selling low on a player that could certainly blossom into a premium talent, but that same upside would probably be enough to net the Marlins an enticing return, Steve writes.
• We’ve seen some notable transactions go down on August 23rd in years past.  This morning, we reflected on some of the bigger moves to happen on this date in recent years.
• If you missed out on the weekly chat hosted by Steve, you can get caught up with the transcript here.
• Earlier today we rounded up the best from the baseball blogosphere in our weekly feature, Baseball Blogs Weigh In.
