By now, most of you know that I run a website called Baseball Trade Values, where Joshua Iversen and I have number-crunched the trade values of over 2,400 players (veterans and prospects, roughly 80-deep per team). Our trade simulator seems to be quite popular – in just over a month, as of this writing, we have over 6,000 users who have played around with it and posted over 1,300 trade proposals.
As luck would have it, our model matched the Bailey/Merrell trade very closely (and so far it’s doing well on others too).
