I’d be quite interested in Dylan Crews. The Cardinals have the minor league pitching depth to trade for him.
With a slim supply of right-handed hitting outfielders, Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews has emerged as a popular trade target around the league, per sources.
More on this from the GM meetings in Vegas, free to read:

baseball’s significant reliance on datasets when compared to football, basketball or hockey should, in a vacuum, make it the only major american sport where you have to mot be a complete drooling moron to talk about it in any public forum. and yet life finds a way.

Brad Ausmus was interviewed before Randy Flores.
That tells you all you need to know.

While I think awards like Rookie of the Year aren’t the end all be all… if you’re going to attach draft picks to it, you need some kind of accountability from the voters. I’m not sure JJ deserved the award. His offensive falloff was rough. I am sure, however, that Sal didn’t.

Last ROTY tweet.
Why was Okamoto not the AL ROTY? He lead McGonigle by 15 HR and 20 RBI.

Since Sal Stewart won ROTY I believe the MVP honors should go to Alec Burleson and Pete Alonso, it only makes sense

In the wake of the NL ROY vote, now that baseball fans finally recognize RBI as the only thing that matters in baseball, I am starting a campaign to retroactively give Khris Davis the 2018 MVP #RetroactivelyGiveKhrisDavisThe2018MVP
If there is a front office that would prefer Sal over Benge they should be fired.
I don't get too caught up in award szn, but I'm willing to bet that the majority of front offices would prefer Benge > Stewart if they were building a team from scratch.
Mets lose out on a draft pick, but I think they'll have the better player for the long haul.

Jazz Chisholm had more win probability added when isolating for batting than Sal Stewart did. He had 55 RBIs.
Garrett Mitchell added more run expectancy when isolating for batting than Sal Stewart did. He had 65 RBIs.
We have statistics that directly measure individual contribution to team scoring, but we are choosing not to use them.
Sal Stewart is the NL Rookie of the Year.
Winning player. Winning personality. His season was a reminder of the value of the RBI.
One memorable moment of his season was the opposite field homer vs. Misiorowski.
Misiorowski said this summer, “He’s an excellent player. It’s always good competition. He has a lot of contact and a lot of power. That’s a recipe in my book for a bad guy to face.”

He’s also the second best NL rookie 1B which is hilarious

Among position players to win ROTY since 2000, Stewart ranks:
37/38 in fWAR (2.0)
35/38 in wRC+ (112)
37/38 in wOBA (.339)
26/38 in ISO (.194)
8/38 in HR (32)
4/38 in RBI (112)
The purest counting stats win of our lifetime. A complete robbery. Draft picks are tied to this!

Congrats to the heroes of our time for not believing RBI should be the centerpiece of the NL ROY. 🫡
Proud of all you: @megrowler, @kileymcd, @amartinez_11, @keithlaw, @spencernusbaum_, @SteveAGardner, @WillSammon, @charlottevarnes, @andrew_tred, @bschaeffer12.

Someone should let the FOs of the snubbed rookies fight to the death for that PPI pick, since we're voting like cavemen
The funniest part about the Sal Stewart NL Roy is that he’s literally the 4th best player at his position in just his division alone. I’m dead serious when I say there are 3 teams in his own division who would not have started him full time this year.

Alec Burleson is the 2026 Most Valuable Player! #STLCards
