Happy Draft Day! Want to Make a Deal?
(Preview)
It's an exciting day with two picks already made in the 2025 IOD! However, my teams don't pick for a while, so I might as well try again to reignite the hot stove, which has been frozen solid since the FA auction almost 2 weeks ago. Deadwood is seeking a certified lefty-masher and perhaps another usefu...

Post Auction Needs - Washington
(Preview)

Austin in Another Auction Aftermath
(Preview)
Wow, Austin ended up spending a LOT of money again. I am happy about adding Butler, Herrin and my old pal Heyward but do regret some of their C spending. Available Players:Jon Singleton: 1B has a surprisingly decent bat vs. RH with 446 APA so he was a bargain at $40K but Butler and Heyward made him superfl...

Tales from the Trail: Colt and Hunter Cross Paths
(Preview)

Young IF Colt Keith heads to Brooklyn in exchange for reliever Hunter Gaddis, BRK #5 and $125K in spare change. We wish Colt all the best and lo...

Stompers' could use a closer

Not like we are a contender this year, so, any kinda warm body with a closer rating we would probably consider, lol. Our "closer" right now is Yimi Garcia, with a 3 closer rating. Carl Stompers'

An inexplicable EGR keeper seeks a forever home
(Preview)
So, having matched a 150k bid for Andrew Benintendi in the C auction, I'm still asking myself exactly why. After a putrid first half last year, he ran an 0.830 OPS in the 2nd half, so the final card isn't terrible, and he offers a ton of at-bats, but he really has no role on this team. Not really sure what I'...

Deadwood Deals with Washington
(Preview)
Deadwood balanced their bullpen by sending lefty JoJo Romero and prospect Jefferson Rojas to Washington in exchange for righty Will Vest. The Desperados are still in the market for quality relief and a closer upgrade from Alexis Diaz would be particularly welcome. There aren't really any holes in...

Redwood Catcher/Lefty Relievers Available
(Preview)
With the addition of Sean Murphy and Tyler Stephenson already rostered, Redwood no longer has room for Jake Rogers. Rogers is Detroit's starting catcher and offers great defense and good pop. He has 365 adjusted PA's available, with 16 2B's and 10 HR's, and is a 1e1(-2) behind the plate. Lefty reli...

Washington Availables
(Preview)
After a mildly successful C Auction, Washington is looking to keep getting younger now that we have filled a few spots, making our FA bidding decisions easier. Easiest guys to move: Santiago Espinal (good middle IF v L, average/above average defense at 2nd/3rd/SS Rob Refsnyder (great LF/RF bat v L)...
