Remove Ads & Support Our Writers

You need MLB hot stove news as quickly as possible.  For subscribers, we remove ads for the fastest possible distraction-free browsing experience.

Corporate sports media often means a heavy gambling influence and talking heads shouting at each other over manufactured controversies.  You’ll find none of that at our independently-owned websites – just total dedication to keeping you informed.

We’re real human beings and we’ve been doing this for over 18 years.  Your support means everything to us and will help keep these efforts alive.  Here’s what current Trade Rumors Front Office subscribers are saying:

“The information we get from the expert writers at MLB Trade Rumors just can’t be found elsewhere! Too many formerly independent outlets are now owned by commercial conglomerates who control the content! The economy is tough; do your part to keep this effort independent. As an added bonus, the banner ads will disappear; that alone is worth the cost!”

J. ALLEN M.

“Supporting the writers is by far the most important thing to me. I have been reading MLBTR for many years and enjoying it for free. Same with Fangraphs. When an option came to get a paid membership, I jumped on it for both. While I enjoy reading this, it’s important to remember that there are skilled professionals, who take a ton of time to scour the web, do research, and write wonderful articles. I don’t want MLBTR to go away, so I am glad to support it, and hope to be reading this for many years to come.”

DMITRY C.

“I love the ability to read all the information on MLBTR without the hassle of dealing with the many annoying advertisements. The site looks cleaner and the cost to sign up for a yearly subscription is minimal. It is well worth the investment to have one less place that attacks my eyes with advertising.”

KEN D.

“The work of MLB Trade Rumors writers is outstanding – informative and well-written. They are at the top of their field, and it has been a good feeling to know that my subscription supports their work.”

ROBERT A.

“I subscribe in support of MLBTR writers as they provide some best analysis in the business. MLBTR is the best source for transactions bar none. I love that they cover even small transactions that are largely ignored by other sites. Great work that I am happy to support.”

PHILIP P.

“I subscribed to MLB Trade Rumors the day that option became available, and I’m so glad I did. I get value from this site every single day and am proud to support the great staff who create such quality content.”

RICK S.

“I cannot be happier with my Front Office subscription. I have been a passionate user of Trade Rumors since soon after its launch. One of the major appeals for me is that TR is a small team with great values – people who are open and honest about the goals of their small business. By supporting them with my extremely inexpensive subscription, I am proud to be supporting this small family of smart, passionate and talented sports fans.”

CHARLIE S.

“It is so nice to not see ads on the website or app – much cleaner look and easier to read. Plus the knowledge that I am directly supporting great writers and content.”

JEFF O.

“I have been a subscriber for more than a year, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The baseball, hockey and pro basketball sites are my go-to for news about my Cards, Blues and Warriors, often times scooping local and national media sources. I check Trade Rumors several times a day, and the fact that I can do this, undisturbed by ads, makes the subscription even more valuable to me.”

TONY B.

“I’ve read MLB Trade Rumors for years and decided to subscribe so that it can continue to be the go-to site for details on free agent signings, contract extensions, and trade talks. Being ad-free is a bonus, but mostly I am proud to support the writers and the team that creates this valuable resource.”

MIKE O.

“Getting rid of the ads makes the site a lot more delightful, and it’s nice to know that I’m helping the site stay in business and invest in making tools that make it even more useful.”

MATT C.

“I became a front office subscriber to support the site and its writers when there was a need. The amount is nothing for the value I get and the time I spend on the site – not only for the quality and timeliness of the posts, but also the accuracy. The content is clearly created by professional writers, and curated with thought.”

TOM G.

“As a long-time “free” user of MLBTR, I stepped up to being a paid subscriber for several reasons: primarily, to support the Trade Rumors staff and to ensure the continued flow of great content that goes beyond reporting news, or grinding statistics. The additional benefits of the subscriber-only posts and articles provide thoughtful insight for me as a fan, and fantasy player alike. At a mere eight cents a day, it’s an enormous value!”

RANDY C.

“If your favorite time of year is the MLB Hot Stove league, you should subscribe to MLB Trade Rumors. MLB Trade Rumors is the best year round source of unbiased, no-hype, no clickbait MLB information. Every team receives attention. You can track current and future year Free Agents and receive expert analysis on a weekly basis. A great throwback internet site with no hot takes, no uninformed comments and no intrusions on your experience if you subscribe.”
