Transaction Analysis: The Milkmen Make a Major Move

Milwaukee Milkmen signed 1B/DH-L Keon Barnum to an unknown contract When the Milkmen traded David Washington for a nowhere near equitable return I had doubts as to what the organization was doing in regards to their lineup.

Transaction Analysis: An Eye for Milk

Milwaukee Milkmen traded 1B/DH-L David Washington to Winnipeg Goldeyes for RHP Tyler Smith and a Player to be Named Later I both get this trade for the Milkmen and am also left scratching my head.

Transaction Analysis: Transactions, the French Way

Barracudas de Montpellier signed 2B/SS-R Ariel Soriano to an unknown contract When it comes to unaffiliated baseball one of the things I am always on the lookout for are wacky trades and transactions. Unlike affiliated baseball, the unaffiliated world is one that can still be quite wild when it comes to transactions between teams. I […]

Twitter's an unorganized mess without a third party app to show Tweets chronologically, block out ads, & let me resume where I left off scrolling. I'm done here for the most part. I won't be posting much to Mastodon, but if I do you can find me at,
