About a month ago, MLB Trade Rumors celebrated its 20th anniversary! We hope you enjoyed our Winter Meetings coverage!
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!)
In the midst of our all the offseason action, 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.
Couldn’t agree more!
rondon – Agreed, it’s the best deal around! The quality and volume of content is unmatched.
Also strongly recommend.
Less than $3 a month!
For as often as I come over here and the Hoops page that’s a small price to pay. Bargain in my book.
It’s a great Bonus we get the inside stuff on those sites as well. I frequent the hoops and football sites as well.
It’s great to support hard-working writers and researchers.
Is it set to auto renew or is there an option to just subscribe for 1 year and it doesn’t auto renew?
It auto-renews by default, but you can change this here:

I just cant do it, I refuse to pay for sports news when there are so many other free places.. I read and enjoy this website, but just ignore articles I dont have access to..
Well worth the money for the extra articles and insight. Also, love the subscriber chat as well. Feels more like a conversation.
When you submit 25 questions, how many are answered (on a normal basis).
25 questions in a single chat?
Okay that’s too many unless you have nothing to do at that moment and is just typing questions in.
I still remember finding this site probably about 20 years ago looking for David Justice rumors, I think. Such an amazing site.
As often as I get banned, no thank you.
What do you get banned for?
I don’t know, they don’t tell me. Nothing worse than what others have done. No swearing.
Don’t do things that get you banned.
Highly recommend. The cost of the subscription is worth Tim’s weekly mailbag alone. Rarely do you find a website whose owner puts in so much effort to engage his readers/subscribers. On top of that you receive access to multiple articles, other resources, and no ads. It’s truly one of—no, it’s the best—website for sports, especially baseball.
Plaudits to the staff for their coverage of the Winter Meetings. Amazing amount of reporting. I find the site well worth the relatively few dollars the subscription runs. Just the chats, with no insulting comments from trolls makes it worthwhile.
