every time I see this graphic I wonder why they didn't just use Maggie (Joe) for DiMaggio
oh my god the list of Boise St QB Maddux Madsen's sibling names, they're all named after baseball players

$115 ain't cheap, BUT compared to what I used to pay for a daily paper sub, the baseball coverage here is unmatched, the annual can be shared with my daughter in an effort to show that math can be cool, and the t-shirt can either be worn proudly or sacrificed to my next marinara binge. A bargain!
hey everyone, today we're announcing something at BP that is both long overdue and something I wish we could keep holding off on, but the reality is we can't: a price change to our subscription.

We'll continue to provide one of the best value props out there, and keep earning your support.
BP Announcement: Forthcoming Price Change for BP Memberships | Baseball Prospectus

Even with the price change, Baseball Prospectus is underpriced considering all you get. Coverage that's free from the influence of the league, a sportsbook, or some private equity ghoul is so important, and it's exactly what you get when you support sites like BP.

If you like the stupid bit I do with my display name here's, perhaps, a bit of added incentive to pick up a BP360 subscription: I'll allow anyone who shows proof of BP360 purchase to submit a display name, and pick a winner at random bypassing the voting process. Winner gets a month, minimum.
the good news is the price change doesn't kick in until 1/1, and we're currently running our yearly promotion for a yearly sub, a copy of the Annual, and a t-shirt, so there literally isn't a better time to subscribe or extend a subscription with us:

Last night I wrote up the Cedric Mullins and Miguel Rojas contracts. One is kind of happy and fun, the other features a Mike Elias quote that comes as close as baseball gets to Vogon poetry

A 2025 necrology, with morals. If I'm qualified to find morals. If morals are a thing in 2025. I'd like to hear your opinion of a question I struggle with herein: did you under/overachieve, or is what you did definitionally what you were capable of doing? Maybe potential just just someone's opinion.

It’s been absurdly cheap in recent years, especially as it relates to everything

Strong recommend from the Inspector on this one

my overriding, off the cuff sense is that this trade is going to keep people who would have otherwise moved on, on the Johan Oviedo bandwagon for like two more years
