Committed to the truth

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

After two years covering Ball Busters, the time has come to make a change. I’ve loved every step of the journey. But I’ve decided that spending countless hours tracking the latest rumors and transactions in a fake baseball league is not worth risking my marriage.

With love,
Nob

It’s not what you know but who you know

A high ranking figure in Cruzin with the Carpenter King’s bsbl ops dept has a medical bckgrd. With the Brewers just in ATL, you have to wonder if he leveraged his network to get the inside scoop on Yelich’s health b4 pulling the trigger

Buzzer Beater: Newly renamed Naylor? I Barely Keeper! lands Ryan Jeffers from Finders Keepers for Sean Murphy

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Brotherly Love: Keeping Tom is Turned Over and Nayl’d one hour before the deadline. His reward? 24th Round Seth Lugo along with Mayo, Ward and Higashioka.

Turner Over gets Brenton Doyle, piping hot Jackson Chourio, Tyler Anderson and Max Muncy in return.

If you had three trades getting done before my post coffee 💩, you’re a winner!

Scalding stove. Josh Naylor (12th round) the biggest keeper candidate to change hands thus far. Turner Ober did well to upgrade C, SP and RP in return while also landing Dong Man Isaac Paredes.

Sources indicate Jeepers Keepers is looking to move Brent Honeywell Jr. but is having a tough time finding another rostered player with equally low value

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

SOURCES: Rookies of the Years is looking to be highly active leading up the Thursday’s deadline. One GM told me: “We were close on a deal but I paused and wondered….what’s the point of this trade?”

Sounds like we’re in for an exciting few days leading up to #Treadline2024

First of many? Jeepers Keepers moves Tobias Myers to Keeping Tom in exchange for Luis Severino. I yawned 13 times while composing this tweet.

BREAKING: After weeks of negotiating, Ghost of Jon Kemp has finally landed a Godfather offer for prized P Tarik Skubal:

Jose Ramirez
Luis Robert
Luis Castillo

New Guy parts with its first three draft picks and moves on to 2025.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Sources indicate Ghost of Jon Kemp had been holding firm on steep asking prices for De La Cruz and Skubal. The strategy paid off as Senga’s was desperate to strengthen its keeper options for next season.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

BALL BUSTER: Senga’s Ha-Seong Eury Tiedeman has agreed to send Corbin Carroll, Marcus Semien, Aaron Nola and Paul Sewald to Ghost of Jon Kemp in exchange for a package headlined by Elly De La Cruz.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Senga’s moves Carroll just four weeks after acquiring him in exchange for top prospect Junior Caminero. De La Cruz (#7 rated in 1H) can be kept in the 25th round for one more season. They will also receive Michael Toglia, Max Muncy and Cade Smith.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Ghost of Jon Kemp was willing to part with Gorman given the recent emergence of Colt Keith. Meanwhile, Bust in Her Posey deals one of its three raking catchers for infield insurance, as the squad had just 1 player eligible at both 2B and 3B before adding Gorman.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Bust in Her Posey has agreed to send Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh to Ghost of Jon Kemp in exchange for Nolan Gorman

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Still, the trade is further evidence of just how grim last-place Rookies of the Years season has become.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Another keeper candidate for top bat swap was completed this morning. Rookies of the Years sends its 2019 AL winner Yordan Alvarez to Turner Over and Naylor in Diaz in exchange for CJ Abrams

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Sources indicate Turner Over had initially set a high asking price for Abrams, who can be kept in the 25th round for one more season, before settling for the oft-injured slugger. Time will tell, but Rookies may have fleeced the Norman brothers in rapid succession.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Soon-to-be-renamed Let’s Rake Little Mookie adds two keeper candidates in Duran (15th round) and Jones (25th round). The team remains open to moves for all players not named Ohtani (Pitcher) but will be highly selective in its quest to amass attractive keeper options.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

BREAKING: Cruzin with the Carpenter King has agreed to send Jarren Duran and Jared Jones to Let’s Rake Little Mookie. The return? Mookie Betts. Andrew Abbott was dropped in a corresponding move.

[NobBightengale @NBightengale]

Cruzin adds another marquee bat to create a three-headed monster of Ohtani, Judge and Betts. Cruzin was one of the few teams with the luxury of being able to wait for Mookie to return from his injury given their 2.5 game cushion over the last playoff spot.
