I know it took a month, and it's meandering and self-aggrandizing, but I made the effort to write about my experience at the Winter Meetings.
I had such a fulfilling experience, I felt the need to share. Check it out and let me know if you have questions

Seen that more times than I'd like!
Hey Keith, it was nice meeting you in Orlando last week.
FWIW, Jacob Melton DID NOT graduate prospect status--he was right at 45 days.
BA brought me on to track this for 2026--here are the details:

Here's why you should use MLB Spreadsheets:
I'm thrilled with the results! Not sure what happened with the Diamondbacks, but I will have to try and figure it out.
Anyway, you can get this detail and MUCH more right here on Patreon:

You can check this all out on my Patreon--MLB Spreadsheets--free for 7 days. See what you think!

Just updated All-MLB sheets, which now include 2026 draft information.
I have 2024 payroll pivots done, just need to protect. When I do, subscribers will have access to:
Pirates: 3 files-39 tabs of information
MLB Payroll: 5 files-109 tabs
All-MLB: 6 files-150 tabs

I've been alluding to this, but now I can finally acknowledge it.
This is something I've always thought I could do and didn't hesitate at the opportunity.
I'm beyond excited to be even a small part of a great source like
@baseballamerica.com and look forward to see where it goes!
Spent a lot of time yesterday updating/finetuning these, but my All-MLB spreadsheets have been updated:

Please forgive my lack of tech savviness, but I stepped out on a limb and created a video explainer on how to use some of my spreadsheets that you can find on my Patreon.
I tried to keep it brief, but we hit 10 mins. Gold star for making it to the end!

I know we are well past it actually happening, but I wrote about a quirk in Jack Flaherty's contract that literally no one else has broached:
Jack Flaherty's AAV and Valley Charges

This is an idea I've toyed with for a long time, but I have always been hesitant to charge for my work. It feels like everyone has a hand out for something, and I've been hesitant to join in. The fact of the matter is I put a TON of effort into this, and I finally decided I wanted to do...

Yesterday I officially launched a Substack--MLB Spreadsheets--in an effort to start a larger project of using all this work I have sitting around.
Check it out, sub, share, and wait for more to come, hopefully very soon!

I've dragged my feet for too long. It's been too easy to find reasons not to do it, so I'm hoping that making it public can get me moving in the right direction.
For now, I'd appreciate both sharing and following along. I'll keep you updated as I figure the rest out.

So, I'm doing a thing...
For a while now, I've been trying to figure out how to further utilize my work, and this is the first step of that.
This process is still evolving, so it may hit some bumps. But I wanted to just get it out there, because...

Worked up a 2026 projection:
As usual, this is all internal players, with pending free agents (and a few cuts for R5 adds) removed for a 2026 baseline.
I came up with an ~$78M projection, with a few major needs highlighted in red.
What do you think? Questions?
A strange series of events led me to this piece, within which I found this nugget, then I saw you follow me.
Good, interesting read. Maybe I should make a better effort over here. Thanks for the work!
