Write For MLB Trade Rumors

We’re looking to add to the MLBTR writing team, in a part-time position that pays hourly.  The criteria:

• Availability to take a regular eight-hour Saturday shift running from 3-11pm central time.  Strong availability on other days of the week would be a bonus.
• Exceptional knowledge of all 30 baseball teams, no discernible bias. Knowledge of hot stove concepts like arbitration, the competitive balance tax, and other aspects of the collective bargaining agreement.
• A high school degree is required, and further education is preferred. Please include your highest completed level of education in your application.
• Writing experience is necessary, and online writing experience is preferred.
• Attention to detail and ability to follow the MLBTR style and tone.
• Ability to craft intelligent, well-written posts analyzing and contextualizing MLB hot stove news quickly and concisely.
• Ability to use X, X Pro, and WordPress.  Experience with these is strongly preferred.
• Ability to incorporate feedback to improve performance.
• If you’re interested, email mlbtrhelp@gmail.com and explain how you stand out and qualify in a couple of short paragraphs.  Please attach your resume to the email.  We often receive several hundred applications, so unfortunately we will not be able to reply to each one.

At the end of your application, please fill in the blank:  After the ____ season ends, assuming he does not sign a contract extension or go to the minors, Angels shortstop Zach Neto will become a free agent.  Rather than give an explanation, simply write, “Neto question: [Year]” at the end.
