Good read--thank you. Only somewhat related question. Has anyone looked into how AA's valuation of pen arms translates to $:WAR? He seems to apply some kind of premium.
Nice article. With picking up Kim and Kinley creates a faint sign of hope, I'm still concerned that, deep down, AA thrives on the dream of striking gold in the DFA'd market (like he, transiently, did in '21). Until he and real-estate-guy McGuirk realize that investing in proven quality (a la Phillies, Dodgers) is the only road to success, I fear more frustration ahead.

Gosh darn it that's a great idea for a newsletter
I had the same question, couldn't find new news on him.
Just me being snarky about Kelenic.
Kelenic is not unemployed yet, right?
He's not yet, but it's absolutely coming. He's hitting .216/.288./.314 in AAA with 109 strikeouts in 93 games
