MLBTR Originals

By TC Zencka | January 5, 2020 at 9:25am CDT

It’s a new year, but MLBTR is bringing you the same up-to-the-minute transaction news and market evaluation. Lest there be a lull in the action, the MLBTR staff occasionally puts out original content. Let’s take a minute to gather that material and make sure you aren’t missing a beat. Here is some of the original content from MLBTR writers over the past week…

  • Connor Byrne checked in on the Top 10 Remaining Free Agents and released his All-Decade Team. If you’ve got a bone to pick with Connor, join the club and find him in a weekly chat.
  • The free agent market chugs right along, but just in case you missed anything, you can take stock of the starting pitching market here or the centerfield market here.
  • From a team perspective, there are plenty of roster holes left to fill. To see where your team’s needs lie, check out the Remaining Needs Series, wrapped up with the AL East on New Year’s Eve.
  • If you’re feeling combative, join us in a free agent faceoff!
  • Jeff Todd did the uncomfortable work of reflection this week, putting together a list of The Most Notable Trades of the Last Decade.
  • As always, we are eager to hear your opinion. Weigh in during our weekly chats or in the comments section of most posts, but always take the time to make your vote count in one our many weekly polls. This week, MLBTR readers voted Clayton Kershaw as the Starter of the Decade, pegged the Reds for between 85 and 89 wins, and denounced the Twins’ rotation additions by grading their offseason work with a C (an A grade received the least votes). Meanwhile, readers are split about whether the Rockies should trade Nolan Arenado, while firm to the tune of ~68% that the Cubs will trade a star, and that star is likeliest to be Kris Bryant.
  • Lastly, a Dominic Smith trade has long been rumored, but he’s still a New York Met for now. Take a look at his trade candidacy – before it’s too late.

      I really liked Jeff Todd’s “The Most Notable Trades Of The Last Decade” article. I thought a few trades that didn’t make the list should have based on how big a deal they were at the time. Most notably: Robinson Cano to the Mets, Justin Upton for Martin Prado and Dan Uggla for Omar Infante. At the same time there have been a ton of really big trades throughout the last decade and there is no way he could put all of them just for having big names at the time involved. Once you consider the facts that Upton was just a short term rental, Cano has been disappointing (and still has a lot of time left on his contract) and Dan Uggla suddenly turned into one of the worst hitters I have ever seen, it seems reasonable those trades didn’t make the cut. Anyone else have any big name trades that didn’t make this list they think maybe should have?

          Better than cobbler in your stomach than hard toilet paper! Why are rookie cards so valuable? I’ve never understood that
          hack…..

          Baseball cards in general are one of the biggest scams ever thrust upon the american populace. Still embarrassed I spent so much time and energy on them in the 90s
