MLBTR Podcast: Alden Gonzalez On The Halos

By Cray Allred | November 19, 2015 at 1:42pm CDT

MLB.com’s Angels beat writer Alden Gonzalez joins host Jeff Todd to discuss the latest on the Halos. Just-tabbed GM Billy Eppler has already swung a major deal to add shortstop Andrelton Simmons, but there are plenty of needs and less resources available after that move.

What does the Simmons swap tell us about the new chief baseball decisionmaker? What can Eppler and co. do next to address the team’s other priorities? Will the team sign a major free agent or two? What will happen to C.J. Wilson? Those are among the many topics covered in today’s podcast.

Podcast: Arbitration Talk with Matt Swartz

By Cray Allred | October 8, 2015 at 12:25pm CDT

This week, Jeff runs through the end-of-season news around the game before welcoming MLBTR’s arbitration guru Matt Swartz to the show. Swartz, of course, just released his yearly projections for each arbitration eligible player’s salary. He’ll also be reviving his Arbitration Breakdown series this offseason, in which he examines some of the most unique arb cases and details whether or not those players’ atypical platform seasons will lead to an inaccurate projection from our model.

Among the topics discussed on this episode are the specific arbitration cases of Aroldis Chapman, Trevor Rosenthal, Josh Donaldson and Jake Arrieta. Additionally, Swartz explains why Dontrelle Willis still holds the first-year arbitration record for a starting pitcher ($4.35MM in 2006) and whether or not Dallas Keuchel can set a new first-time record this winter.

Those unfamiliar with MLBTR’s model may first want to check out Swartz’s explanation of the arb process, our model, and, of course, the above-linked projections.
