RICHARD’S OFF-SEASON REPORT CARD
People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.
― Anne Frank
With a few days away from the draft, the off season for the League of Mediocre Gentle(wo)man (Gentlefolk?) has been the busiest it has ever been. The majority of the league have moved players, draft rounds, and swapped picks in an attempt to better themselves for this coming season.
But did they? Whose team made out like a bandit this year and what team sat with a millstone around their neck?
Below I’ve gone through each team and listed out the moves they made and their current keeper selections or at least their projected keeper selections. Afterward, each team gets a grade set between the standard school system letter grade A-F. In my explanations for why a team got that grade, I’m looking at several things. First is the quality of the deals being made in this off season. I’m also looking at the state of the team before the trade was made. Several teams vastly improved their keepers by making simple trades and that factored into how high they scored. But some teams came in with keepers already stacked and would have probably gotten a lower grade if they attempted to trade too much from their capital. Finally, I’m looking at the final keeper group of the team. Does it look better now than it did in October 2023?
All opinions are my own and since there is no comment section here, I don’t have to listen to any real counterpoints.

Going into this year, James posted his keepers as Seager (2), Valdez (7), Arraez (10), Soto (12), Garcia (15), Carter (26). His major problem was overlooking the valuable assets he did have, such as Harris, in favor of more novel assets such as Arraez.
James’s strength and weakness is his ability to be wrapped up in the story of a player. This can serve him well as seen by his commitment to holding onto Juan Soto with an iron grip despite him almost assuredly never wearing a Nationals jersey again. But it can often blind him with gimmicks toward players such as Carlos Carrasco in the past who beat cancer or this year with the league leader in batting average, Luis Arraez. A scathing article and three trades later, James transformed his team into one of the most formidable cores going into the 2024 draft. He didn't just pivot, he pivoted with a plan and executed on it incredibly well.
He immediately ditched Arraez and traded for more pitching with fantasy darling, Bobby Miller. He had to give up a draft round and a minor league player for him, but got a comparable draft round and a top minor league prospect back. James managed to come out ahead here by shuffling around his assets.
Do I think he could have done better? Perhaps. One could say he paid more than he needed for that 10th round pick, but this is a minor blemish on what might be the most successful offseason James has had.

Going into this off season with the worst record I've ever had, my team needed to prepare for 2024 in a way that capitalized on the rookies and low round players I had accumulated. My goal was twofold: acquire draft picks by moving the excess I didn’t need and don't break up my core keepers of Elly, Lowe, Musgrove, Jones, Miller, and Glasnow. That lasted a total of three weeks as I raced to be the first in the market for a high draft pick. My fear was someone else trading first and setting the price.
Sacrifices had to be made and I will have to live with such things. Losing Glasnow and Miller was surprising, but looking at how I'm set up for the draft, I don't mind it much at all. To start the 2024 draft, I will have 13 picks in the first 10 rounds. I'll be done with my draft by round 19. It's an impressive position to be in as it allows me to reach into that pitcher glob early and take the hitters I need in the earlier rounds.
But was that really a strong strategy? I have assembled a group of keepers that have small track records with only two veterans: pitchers with one that has flirted, but never cracked the top ten and the other who only just completed a full season healthy. There is an argument to be made, and a good one too, that I should have traded one or two of my low round players to acquire a stable player who is more guaranteed to repeat their success. So with that, my real grade for this off season is:
grade: b+… (for biased)

Michael’s off season began in the 2023 regular season when he acquired arguably the best pitcher in baseball, Strider, from Hiroshima. Since then, he’s been a quiet observer during the many trades save for one: positioning himself in multiple rounds to allow better control for drafting the best player he can each round. The price? One DH only player.
This was a very solid move as while Ozuna is unlikely to remain DH only, he’s also unlikely to repeat last season. However, this trade didn't help Michael figure out his sixth keeper (something another team is having trouble with later in this list) now that he’s traded away the presumed 6th. As such, he is currently set to keep either a relief pitcher who recently missed all of 2023 or currently, Riley Greene. The relief pitcher is not the most secure posting but it is incredibly cheap and the upside is there. I don’t believe in Greene and I’m tired of experts trying to make him a thing. He’ll never be a thing. Give up on that dream. Anyway, this is a team that could have used just one more trade to really solidify themselves for the draft…
And trading away Burnes in a sweetheart round for a speculative throw on Chourio was NOT the deal I would have done. Congrats on getting arguably the top prospect/rookie in baseball, but what a cost. Going into the year with Burnes and Strider was such a formidable 1-2 punch. Now Michael has to hope that Skubal can do a repeat of a full season of the flashes he showed at the end of last year. And Michael still has to figure out a 6th keeper or else be stuck with Riley Greene.

Joey’s off season has been incredibly quiet as he focuses on football and then March Madness. This would be fine if he had the same strong core that Michael’s team has, but he just doesn’t. Despite some chatter of deals here or there, nothing has come to fruition. He comes into the 2024 draft with a stronger lineup than in previous years, but one that still seems spread like butter on too much toast. Harper, Witt, Webb, and even Walker are all solid or above solid keeper options. It’s the next two that could have used an upgrade. With Burger going late in drafts anyway and Javier fumbling his sophomore season, it’s not a confident duo of guys.
Can Joey still achieve a strong season without making any moves before the draft? Quite possibly, though it’s a thinner needle to thread than what he should be sewing with. Javier could show his 2022 self and Jake Burger could exceed his kept position. There were also better players with just as good draft value with higher upsides out there that Joey could have gone after, but didn’t.

To understand Vinson’s off season, we need to back up to June 3rd, 2023 and June 25th, 2023. Vinson made two trades that situated himself as not only the frontrunner for the playoffs, but the frontrunner to win the championship. Within one month, Vinson traded Cedric Mullins, Bobby Miller, Eury Perez, and Bo Bichette for Jose Ramirez, Ryan Helsley, Freddie Freeman, Max Scherzer, and Salvador Perez. It was an incredible coup d'etat. But like all coup d'etats, it had serious consequences. The league turned on Vinson. In the past, Mulvey has had a fantastic trade relationship with owners. You could trust that the asking price from Vinson was relatively reasonable. While he certainly won his deals, he never pushed it into the realm of unreasonable.This changed after these trades.*
Now with 4 first round keepers in the off season, Vinson had a dilemma that could have been seen as enviable for most teams. Except it just didn’t work out that way. It was obvious that Vinson was being frozen out by the league like Boras got frozen out with his clients.The draft order also did him no favors as the two teams most in need of his players were given the first and second draft positions. Finally, it seemed that most teams either already had a strong first round player or were skeptical about keeping a player in the first round. Selling Turner for a 7th round pick and Freeman for an 8th was a far cry from the hauls that Vinson usually pulled off in previous trades.
For any other team, this is still a fantastic off season. The alternative would be throwing all three of the non-kept first round players back into the draft and getting nothing. Vinson broke through the ice and cultivated the fear of missing out that he so excels at. And Vinson himself has shown he alone can maximize the 7th and 8th rounds to get diamonds from the coal. But this return is still so much smaller than what anyone was thinking he would get. I can’t quite call this off season a failure, but it is not the one I think Vinson was hoping for when he entered it.
Despite saying all of that, Vinson has arguably the best core of keepers in the league and the only way he could honestly get a low grade was if he screwed it up and lost them. He didn’t and he added two speculative rounds to them. It’s a good time to be the champ.
*I realize I am complicit in these deals as the one who traded Jose Ramirez.I hold no personal ill will toward the man, Vinson Mulvey, and I fully accept responsibility for my part in the 2023 championship. I don’t quite regret making that trade, but the negotiations for a broken Cedric Mullins soured my taste for trading with this team. Asking for Ryan Helsley as a throw in piece was just the lemon juice in the eye on an already expensive asking price.

Dan’s off season confused me as it happened but was crystal clear by the end. I don’t think he knew what he was doing most of the time, but it’s been a fun ride nonetheless. What began with him having a total of three picks out of the first ten rounds has now evolved into… well something similar (4 picks in the first ten). First Dan was keeping:Cole (1), Castillo (3), Albies (6), Peralta (8), Bellinger (13), Frelick (26).
That changed after the first trade to: Cole (1), Luis Robert (2), Castillo (3), Yelich (5), Albies (6), Peralta (9).
It’s incredibly top heavy which is not something I like in my keepers. Robert could easily have been drafted in the 2nd round again, despite his strong 2023 season. And at no point has Montgomery even entered into an official keeper position. Which is fine. The guy is overrated and doing anything because you are afraid of ridicule is what Pat wants. This just makes tracking Dan’s decisions difficult as he has pivoted what seems like three or four times in the same off season. Again, I think that’s admirable.
What’s less admirable is losing out on the guy you have your heart set on: Jackson Chourio. Through bits and pieces of chatter in general chat, it’s clear that Patrick was looking for a top starting pitcher and had set his sights on Luis Castillo. Well now Dan has traded Castillo. It’s unlikely Dan will be able to get Chourio now and even less likely that he’ll be able to fit him on his team unless he did yet another pivot that saw his keepers completely retooled. I wouldn’t put it past him, but I also don’t know how much steam Dan has left to make something like that happen again. At least not without losing someone like Freeman.

Jonathan took on the thankless task of managing the most neglected team in league history. A team that managed to finish last behind my own historically awful season last year. With very little capital in terms of player value and desperate need to hold onto the few he did have, Jonathan had his work cut out for him.
There are two things that can create value out of thin air for teams in the offseason: draft picks and draft positions. This is why the draft order being announced is so important and should probably happen sooner than later. Jonathan got busy leveraging these immediately in order to accumulate a core of keepers. His first trade was to rid himself of Montgomery who possibly over performed last year. Luis Castillo went with him and was an easy choice, with Gausman already being in the 3rd round. Grabbing Steele and Carter for just one pick was an easy choice too and possibly even a steal. At this point, Jonathan had only given up 2 picks: a 7th and a 10th. Neither are particularly worthwhile and they also helped solidify the price of trades going forward.
The Jordan Lawler and Colton Cowser for a draft pick is perplexing, as by this point, Jonathan was set. But with how unknowable this new minor league draft will be, it’s good to have insurances. And like his previous trades, Jon made sure not to spend a lot. Getting a 26th round from Pat to anticipate that Cowser starts the season was a very funny move.
It’s honestly amazing how much of a turnaround this team has done in one offseason and if there was a belt for offseason championship, I would submit Cashman Cashes Out as a strong contender.

Mark is notorious for being difficult to trade with. By default, he is suspicious of any deal and prefers to roll with what he has found himself. That has worked incredibly well considering how many times he has made playoff appearances.
But this offseason saw Eury Perez get pulled with elbow soreness and Mark sort of panicked. And he panicked in the most Mark way possible: precisely. Getting Zack Wheeler and then Luis Castillo completely disrupted the board for anyone else telling themselves they had to get a pitcher in the first round. With all the others having question marks in some areas of their game, Mark has made the 1st round more focused than ever on the hitters that remain. Yes, Yamamoto, Gilbert, Nola, and Snell are still available and the propaganda machine would have you take one or else. But the real aces have all been grabbed now, forcing a lot of teams’ boards to be thrust into some interesting dilemmas.
Who cares about those teams, we’re talking about Mark’s. This team is coming in with a plethora of keeper options beyond the sixth. The fact that Braxton Garrett (FA) and Vinnie Pasquantino (24) might be thrown back is crazy compared to the scraps some other teams are desperately trying to pull into keepers. The final core is very strong. While I don’t like taking a pitcher in the first round and I would have personally kept Garrett or Jesus Luzardo (12) instead of trading Bichette or a draft pick, I don’t hate the final product. This is a team that wants to win now.

Brooke has sat by and allowed one of the most active off seasons in both terms of trades and rule changes to pass her by without much more than a wave. She’s always had a very busy private life, one filled with family and breadwinning (like a boss). But that’s not why she gets the “family” moniker here. No, she gets it here because her players are like her family.
Each player has a special meaning to her: Lindor is from her Columbus days going to Clippers games with Pat. Devers is the Red Sox player even her husband didn’t believe in, but proved everyone wrong on her team. Ohtani was the uncertain, Japanese two-way player that was used more for a trade chip than a staple until he made his way to Brooke’s team (and his smile doesn’t hurt much either). And Clase was the man who outbid me in the 2021 final hour Musgrove trade.
The issue isn’t that her keepers are bad, per se, it’s that it gets real dicey after the 4th keeper. Clase, while a very good relief pitcher, is still only a relief pitcher. And that sixth spot is a big question mark as there really isn’t anyone left. This was an off season with so many trades and Brooke sat on the sidelines with Ohtani. If ever there was a year to eject him for all he's with, it would be in the year he’s recovering from an elbow surgery and signed a half billion dollar contract. Selling that song for a mint was what her team needed, but… well you don’t turn your back on family.

Andrew Heller was a difficult person to negotiate with. Not because he himself is unreasonable or wants more or offers less in negotiations, but because he is too busy to be bothered by such mundane trivialities. Between his exciting job and its recent change of locations, his family, and the holidays, Heller has been swamped.
Fortunately, Heller has amassed an array of players that makes it tricky to choose who to give up or what exactly is needed. Olson had a huge year, Abrams finally had the breakout year we’ve all been waiting for, and Tatis was as good as he’s ever been. Riley is as steady as they come. It’s Hoerner and the sixth keeper that was the question. Hoerner is hardly a top three player at his position and his upside is limited. And Heller had no pitching.
That changed with Walker Buehler. With a trade that only cost him a minor league draft pick, Heller took a gamble with a player who used to be the best pitcher in baseball. Two Tommy John surgeries make that a tough bet to make, but the 25th draft spot has that risk lowered tremendously.
But is that enough? Most don’t think so as Heller is primed to be a team that takes a gamble on a pitcher in the first round. He didn’t have to be. If he had engaged more in the offseason, he could have replaced Hoerner with a more stable starting pitcher to better anchor his staff. And maybe he had those talks with others, but the cost was too high. As it stands, Heller did not have to give up any real compensations this off season in terms of draft picks and that means he’s free to draft straight down without fear.
Whether that confidence is misplaced or not, remains to be seen.

This grade was a B before March 20th. In this space I wrote all about how Pat did nothing off season and instead worked as a propagandist sewing deceit and disorder into the minds of the league. And how he could afford to do it because he had such a great keeper roster already that he didn’t need to add much more. It was a good piece. I’ll miss that piece.
Now though, Pat has entered the arena fully. Oh sure, he did the little joke trade we do every year. And he swapped picks to get himself the second overall pick in the 3rd round. But today, he really went for it with two trades that propelled him to the front runner entering the draft. The first trade filled his hole left by Bradish’s injury as he now has a top end starter in a very comfortable round. The second saw yet another capitalization on acquiring draft picks, even low round ones.
It’s hard to look at Pat’s team and not see how it could get better from here. It was hard to say that before, hence me labeling Pat as the chaotic neutral before today. And yet he did improve his team. In dramatic fashion.

Eight years. That’s how long it’s been since Ian Shaw has won a championship in this league. Last season, he came incredibly close. If not for some fluky late season benching shenanigans he would have succeeded.
That’s all in the past now. 2024 has arrived and with it, the elimination of that pesky final week that for too long has been a thorn in Ian’s side. Now he is guaranteed his championship.
But just in case it doesn’t guarantee it, Ian made sure to position himself to attack this draft as well as he could. Coming into the off-season, Ian sold the farm to create as well rounded of a team as possible to take on Vinson. The problem was, that meant selling two of the best players in baseball in Acuna and Strider. This left him with a few value keepers, but still too many holes.
Trading for Glasnow and the newly repaired Oneil Cruz thrusted his team back into contention. With strong springs from both, it seems Ian is poised to make good on his promise of ending his streak. But just in case, he also acquired a solid first round player. Did he pay too much? I think so, but not by much (read the Price of the Blender for more). Ian Shaw is strongly set up for the draft so long as he executes his needs immediately. This means grabbing an outfielder to anchor his barren staff. With everyone brainwashed by our propagandist to dive for pitching first, Ian Shaw could find himself with Mike Trout or Randy Arozarena.
bonus: rankings
If you reached the end of this article and you feel miffed that your team should have been given a higher grade based on your staff, fret not. I’ve included my rankings of the teams based on how their total assets stack up for this coming draft:
The Legion of Doom (Vinson)
Not All who Wander are Diddlers (Patrick)
Bo Knows (Mark)
Elly Enchanted (Richard)
Hiroshima Carpe Diem (Ian)
Big DeSantis Energy (James)
Pickle the Beast (Andrew)
I like Ian on Topper (Dan)
Mendoza Liners (Michael)
Cashman Cashes Out (Jon)
Harper’s Ferry (Joey)
Shirley’s Sox (Brooke)
The first two should be obvious as their cores haven’t changed much and still kick all of ours with a good blend of stable veterans and high upside value picks. Vinson edges it out over Pat because his draft picks are higher. Pat beats Mark because he didn’t have to give up any draft picks this off season and somehow gained more while keeping one of the best cores in the league. Mark’s team is built to win now, something that mine is in question about and judging by my past drafts, might not be able to achieve. But my massive amount of control over the draft overwhelms teams like Ian’s and Dan’s who sacrificed a lot of the first several rounds to get the keepers they currently have. That said, Ian’s core is all upside that is just a bit higher than James’ upside. Although, his floor is very low with injury risks so he only makes it to the 5th spot.
James has a Vinson lite team with a good mix of stable veterans and upside value picks, but all that seem just a little less spectacular than a Mookie Betts and Corbin Carroll. But unlike those below, James broke even with draft picks and minor leaguers. Michael, Dan, and Andrew are all around the same ranking, but it came down to having more faith in Heller’s core than the other two. Andrew only had to lose a minor league draft pick, which considering he has Wood and Langford, is hardly a sacrifice. Dan’s keepers are actually built better than his ranking would suggest, but it was a mess to get there and the draft is going to be tricky for him. Michael just bet it all on some speculative highly touted players which could either be huge for him or blow up in his face.
Despite my love for Jon’s offseason, his keepers are still not nearly as spectacular as the ones above as he doesn’t really have a top three player in any position. But he’s well rounded and incredibly familiar with the league now. Joey’s and Brooke’s cores are incredibly similar and it came down to whether I liked Lindor in second over Walker in the 6th. I don’t. Both teams desperately needed to do something this off season to overcome their 5th and 6th keeper deficiencies but have yet to do so. However, Joey’s team does seem to have a super power where just importing his meager keepers onto the website takes out teams higher up in this ranking. I don't know if that will continue into the regular season, but it's worth watching.
