That's a wrap for us today. Thanks to everyone for following us. Final tally of the summer season: 86 trades, of which 76 were accepted by our model (88%), with an average variance of 3.5. There were 10 misses, and we'll see what we can tweak to minimize those in the future.
Today the #Nationals acquired LHP Reiver Sanmartin ($0.0M surplus trade value) from the #SFGiants in exchange for RHP Robert Cranz ($0.1M).
The deal is accepted by our model.
Today the #STLCards reportedly acquired LHP Eduardo Rivera ($1.8M surplus trade value) from the #RedSox in exchange for RHP Juan García (not yet in system).
The deal is tentatively accepted by our model, pending García's addition.
Today the #Nationals reportedly acquired IF Nate Furman ($1.5M surplus trade value) from the #SFGiants in exchange for LHP Tony Neubeck (not yet in system).

In the late 2010s, the #Marlins flipped several star players in one of their habitual fire sales. Nearly a decade later, what can we learn from those trades? BTV contributor @EthanPechersky explores:

@SethUnfiltered We currently estimate Warren's surplus value at $25.5M, whereas Paredes is at $14.7M. So yes, the Astros would have to include another piece or two.
Today the #BlueJays acquired RHP José Rodriguez ($0.3M surplus trade value) from the #Dodgers in exchange for RHP Sebastian Rodriguez (not yet in system).
The deal is tentatively accepted by our model, pending S. Rodriguez's addition.

The most valuable players are almost never actually traded. Still, it's an important (and fun) thought exercise - which players have the most surplus value in baseball? @johnbitzer2 explores:
