  1. Huh. At a previous job I had way back, Carlyle Group bought us then sold us off. That’s what they do.
  2. He won with the Cubs, was runner up with TX.
  3. That’s who I used. Also used a Canadian for All Star. 14 today.
  4. Seems a little lower than MLBTRADERUMORS predictions. Could likely see the top guys getting more.
  5. 44 today. High was Cle/LA at 14 which would have been a prime answer for Cle/Bos. Low was 0.4 for Cle/Bos. I took a pitcher who pitched against one of those teams in a World Series. His career included an in season arrest for fighting undercover cops with his teammates, a freak accident where he needed a piece of an appendage reattached, and an offfield tragedy.
  6. 90. Got higher scores for what I thought were blasts from the past and the lowest score for a 2023 player.
  7. Wasn’t 3/4 of Arizona’s back end trade acquisitions?
  8. I took a Tigers/Phillies guy that I could use for Reds/Phillies. Then got stuck on Reds/Phillies, but could name a handful of other Tigers/Phillies.
  9. Thought I was going to have a good score until the 200k column where I hit the most popular player for each.
  10. I just hope no team bails them out on Stanton.
  11. I read earlier in the season that Gray was considering retirement soon and would likely only sign a short term deal. Baltimore would be a really good fit.
  12. 75 today. 27 on Reds HOFer. Only four immediately came to mind and I didn’t think the one I’d pick would be most popular. The guy I picked for LAD HOF, you typically associate him with two other teams.
  13. I didn’t do a great job of guessing unpopular Orioles picks. My Os/Red Sox was 5% and my Os/Astros was 3%. Had many options and thought they’d be lower. My Os/Cubs was 0.4. Total school was 47 with 25 on my Cubs 200 wins pick.
  14. 58. Definitely had the first Jays/Phillies guy on my mind. Didn’t realize the other cut it. Had the same Phillies and Yankees MVP. Used a former O for Braves/Jays.
  15. 132. The Negro League column was difficult to get low scores. I got the highest Cleveland and HOFer. Didn’t do the obvious Dodgers one. Used one former Oriole. Dodgers row was the best at 31.
  16. I was going to use Lee there, but used an ex-O there instead at. 0.3%. 42 overall.
  17. Saw where Ryan Flaherty will interview for the Padres manager position. Life comes at you fast.
  18. That’s weak. I purposely left off Puerto Ricans. Had a 31 score. Used two HOFers plus one ex-Oriole.
  19. 4.7% for my Orioles column. 44% total. Had 27% on Astros/Marlins. Couldn’t do better than the most popular.
  20. Plus one for Corey Patterson. He was so effortlessly fast.
  21. Yes, he was. Recently with the D-backs, but before that he was with the Orioles and Red Sox.
  22. Well, Woodruff had or is having shoulder surgery and is likely out for 2024.
  23. Orioles row today. Twins, Padres, MVP. 22% for the row. I’m sure people on here can do better.
