Eh I would much much rather the city make an investment in reaping more money that can then be used on (hypothetical) improvements to things than give the same amount of money to a PE firm, like the cost of parking itself is extremely secondary here imo

Just get to the part where the owners remember their national TV rights deal only runs through 2028 and they'll have to negotiate a new one on the back of the lockout, this is taking forever.

The State of FanGraphs 2026 blogs.fangraphs.com/the-state-of...

Had a great time helping Matt with research here, even if my computer's memory would beg to differ

[whispers] I am perfectly fine with and perhaps entirely in favor of the HRD change. Also, “I personally don’t like this thing” is not the same thing as “this is objectively worse” because there is no objectivity here, but I would assume there was some level of player/fan feedback here

it is rare that a player I have literally never heard of gets called up but a 26-year-old former 19th-rounder hitting below the Mendoza line in A-ball just got called up

Today’s Feature Focus is on a really fun tool for narrative-building:

I think my editors will yell at me but I’d like to level up my writing by using diaereses., The New Yorker really cooks with that one. Coöperation, reënter, preëxisting, things of that nature

We now have a "contract history" section on the FanGraphs player pages ... www.fangraphs.com/players/bobb... Our contract database was created before the 2020 season so any contracts that were active at that time or began after will show up. We'll add historical contract data next.

If you love customizing things (and who doesn't?) this one's for you:

Ugly-looking chart, but I'm doing some research for a FanGraphs Mailbag question and had all the data so I threw this together with an r^2 of .1113. Put another way: only 11% of the *variance in* a team's winning percentage is explained by their share of MLB player payroll

I'm hearing Richard Staff showed face

Within: the first of many RosterResource additions to player pages!

I'm excited for this because I can read Jon's blogs and learn how to use the website I've written at for almost four years

Now that @jon-becker.com has the capability to build new RosterResource features and add to existing ones, we're making good progress on our Things To Do list. We can also react quickly to reader suggestions/feedback (i.e. see screenshot and link). SP Grid: www.fangraphs.com/roster-resou...

The latest RosterResource update: you can now filter the Probables Grid to show starters for the team displayed (as it always has) or starters *against* the team displayed:

The RosterResource Roster Grid is now live at @fangraphs.com! • Excel export (members only!) • Choose to have all 30 teams in a row or stacked by division • Division filtering • Flip between go-to lineups vsR and vsL These update instantaneously when the main RR pages update. More TK!

Little update for today: the schedule at the top of the RosterResource pages as well as the Probables Grid now displays openers (OP) and primary pitchers (PP):

I looked this up out of sheer curiosity and the last player to hit exactly five homers in exactly 488 at-bats was 1996 Marvin Benard (it's only happened four times ever)

I realized I am awful at explaining what exactly I do at @fangraphs.com , so I made a TikTok (really!) documenting it: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkCerKTB/

Jon is working on bringing back the MLB Roster Grid, a popular feature that was a big part of MLBDepthCharts way back in the day. This should be a much better version with more capabilities. If you have any suggestions for what this feature should include, now is the time.

A very early first cut of my latest RosterResource project, the thing we get asked about the most: a way to look at all 30 teams at once! Working title is Roster Grid but I've also kicked around The All-30 View and Sicko Mode:

🚨 New Closer Depth Chart features at @fangraphs.com! 🚨 • Pitch and IP totals for last six days • Hover over a pitcher's outing for outing-specific stats • Results and Arsenal stats toggle • Filter your view to one team instead of having to scroll www.fangraphs.com/roster-resou...
