About a month ago, MLB Trade Rumors celebrated its 20th anniversary! It’s an honor to get to run this website for a living after all these years.
The MLBTR writing team consists of Steve Adams, Anthony Franco, Darragh McDonald, Mark Polishuk, Nick Deeds, Leo Morgenstern, Charlie Wright, and AJ Eustace. We all love baseball and we’re dedicated to bringing you the hot stove news with timeliness, accuracy, context, and analysis. The essence of the website has not changed in these 20 years – we’re not jumping on any trends involving clickbait, gambling, or AI.
Part of the reason MLBTR is still going strong is the addition of our Trade Rumors Front Office subscription service five years ago. I have never viewed that as a charity for us; my goal is to provide value well beyond the $34.99 per year cost. Here’s what you get with your subscription:
- Removal of all ads on the website and in our app (just make sure you’re logged in!)
- My weekly mailbag
- Exclusive weekly hot stove articles from expert MLB writers Steve Adams and Anthony Franco
- Exclusive member-only online chats with Steve and Anthony every week
- MLB Contract Tracker: a high-powered tool featuring 19+ years of free agent contracts and extensions
- MLB GM Tracker: GM tenures for all 30 teams dating back to 2000, with links to each GM’s contract history
- MLB Agency Database: agencies for more than three-quarters of those who played in MLB in the last three seasons, compiled from industry sources
- Random perks such as early access to our revamped Trade Rumors app (coming soon!)
As we gear up for the offseason madness, please consider supporting MLBTR with a Trade Rumors Front Office subscription. It comes with a 100% money-back guarantee!
It’s been worth every penny.
