Ethan Hullihen

I've been alluding to this, but now I can finally acknowledge it.

This is something I've always thought I could do and didn't hesitate at the opportunity.

I'm beyond excited to be even a small part of a great source like
@baseballamerica.com and look forward to see where it goes!

Spent a lot of time yesterday updating/finetuning these, but my All-MLB spreadsheets have been updated:

Please forgive my lack of tech savviness, but I stepped out on a limb and created a video explainer on how to use some of my spreadsheets that you can find on my Patreon.

I tried to keep it brief, but we hit 10 mins. Gold star for making it to the end!

I know we are well past it actually happening, but I wrote about a quirk in Jack Flaherty's contract that literally no one else has broached:

This is an idea I've toyed with for a long time, but I have always been hesitant to charge for my work. It feels like everyone has a hand out for something, and I've been hesitant to join in. The fact of the matter is I put a TON of effort into this, and I finally decided I wanted to do...

Welcome to MLB Spreadsheets! Welcome!

Yesterday I officially launched a Substack--MLB Spreadsheets--in an effort to start a larger project of using all this work I have sitting around.

Check it out, sub, share, and wait for more to come, hopefully very soon!

I've dragged my feet for too long. It's been too easy to find reasons not to do it, so I'm hoping that making it public can get me moving in the right direction.

For now, I'd appreciate both sharing and following along. I'll keep you updated as I figure the rest out.

So, I'm doing a thing...

For a while now, I've been trying to figure out how to further utilize my work, and this is the first step of that.

This process is still evolving, so it may hit some bumps. But I wanted to just get it out there, because...

Worked up a 2026 projection:

As usual, this is all internal players, with pending free agents (and a few cuts for R5 adds) removed for a 2026 baseline.

I came up with an ~$78M projection, with a few major needs highlighted in red.

What do you think? Questions?

A strange series of events led me to this piece, within which I found this nugget, then I saw you follow me.

Good, interesting read. Maybe I should make a better effort over here. Thanks for the work!

Jones to the 60-day to make room for Canario

Palacios and Strzelecki outrighted

Sending email, but remember, I'm not much for commentary!

Sorry, been a tad busy, but sure, what you got?

Yeah, it's the Lawrence corresponding

Oviedo to the 60-day IL

de Geus claimed by Marlins

For anyone curious over here too:

Tommy Pham would get $125k for both 475 and 525 PA

Hopefully this comes with much less drama

If I do this it comes out to the original $31.9M reported, not $31.7M.

Any ideas?
