San Francisco’s 40-Man Cleanup Will Be a Giant Pain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I was scrolling The Website Formerly Known As Twitter on Sunday, perusing for articles to read and news to get caught up on, I stopped dead in my tracks at this post from Giants reporter Alex Pavlovic: The Giants now have 16 players on the 60-day IL, which will make for an insane series of roster moves at the start of the offseason.

Waiving Goodbye: Explaining the August 31 Not-Trade Deadline (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just so you know, the trade deadline was August 3. Tarik Skubal is on the Dodgers. Adley Rutschman is on the Red Sox. José Soriano is on the Blue Jays. Did you hear about this?

The American League is a jumbled mess, and National League teams like the Nationals and Padres are straddling the buy/sell line, too. But one thing is for sure: The Angels will be sellers. What’s not yet settled is the extent to which they’ll sell. With interim general manager John Mozeliak running the show after the ouster of Perry Minasian, the Angels suddenly have their most
FanGraphs Feature Focus: Minor League Leaderboards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the August 3 trade deadline fast approaching, we’re bound to see minor leaguers aplenty floated in trade rumors. If you’re curious about the players who might find themselves in new orgs in a few weeks, The Board is a great resource, as are the new minor league leaderboards, the subject of today’s Feature Focus. You’ll notice that in the above screenshot, wRC+ isn’t actually shown in the resulting leaderboard because it’s not in the Standard tab. Unlike the player pages or our major league
