Cubs all wore Sandberg's number

Guardians were denied numerous times from wearing Larry Doby's number

The 2025 FanGraphs Trade Deadline Roundup Miss any of our deadline coverage? Don’t worry! Now it’s easy to find all of our analysis of this year’s wheeling and dealing in one place.

We ran 19 trade deadline pieces at @fangraphs.com yesterday, two more this morning, and we still have more to come! You can find links to all of our trade deadline analysis in this handy roundup:

On this day in 1979, Thurman Munson passed away the age of 32. One of the most clutch postseason players the Yankees ever had, most still feel he’s underrated. Here's my painting of the great man, lacing a hit during Game 3 of the 1976 World Series, based on the photography of Neil Leifer.

Thank you @guyrichardssmit.bsky.social

If you missed this amid all the trade deadline drama

Allow me to be the 283rd person to re-post this bc it's crucial that everyone see it.

You guys wanna see a dead body?

LOL wow

How many little kids right now meant to grow up to become scientists, academics, artists, may never get the same inspiration we did just by turning on TV for free, because we used to agreed as a society that was worthwhile to offer everyone

Here is the change in team projected Runs Scored from Sunday morning to this morning (Friday).

Two takeaways
1. Holy shit Padres
2. Mariners: +.09 RS/G, DBacks: -.09 RS/G. It's like they swapped a player.

new @fangraphs.com: the Padres did a nice job of filling some lineup holes, and had me thinking of some cold ones by the end of my third and final writeup of the day

My goodest headline of the deadline

new @fangraphs.com: an appropriately aggressive move by the Mariners brings back an upgraded version of their 2022–23 third baseman

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

The Bon Scott years were underrated

Never change, Mayor This Fucking Guy

Yankees Bolster Bullpen With David Bednar, Jake Bird, and Camilo Doval Entering Thursday, ZiPS projected the Yankees have the 17th-best bullpen for the rest of the season. These three trades bumped them all the way up to third.

I will say this again and again until the cap fetishists get it. There is a 1:1 correlation between "leagues that have broken their unions" and "leagues with a payroll cap." Let that be a clue as to who wins in a cap system.

FINAL TALLY

we saw 36 trades on deadline day -- a new record!

via @baseball-reference.com / Retrosheet transaction data (imperfect because not all trades go official on same day they are reported but a good approximation), here's how that compares to every other deadline this century:

It looks like the Fyre Festival menu threw up on itself and then died.

Twins Return Correa to Sender For Partial Refund And Jesús Sánchez is going to the Astros too!

I understand why the Twins would want to cut their losses on Carlos Correa, who even in the most pessimistic reading is still a good player. It's still a huge bummer that they've admitted defeat and packed it in on the biggest win-now move they've made in I don't know how long

We’re just getting started. We’ve got a whole sweatshop of dads making desperate puns and another division of hipsters wedging obscure cultural references into headlines
