The SB Nation Baseball Off-season Simulation Project: Recap

Every year, I take 30 diehard baseball fans, assign them a team, and try to simulate the off-season with real-world conditions. This year’s simulation produced trades, trades, and trades, as GMs wheeled and dealed.

Here are the ground rules, and here is a spreadsheet showing all free agents and all team payrolls and budget recommendations.

I felt like there was more fiscal discipline in the free agent market, although that may reflect the quality of this year’s free agent class. The top ten biggest free agent deals:

The best players that couldn’t find a home - at least not at the right price - and are still unemployed are Yonder Alonso, Mitch Moreland, Mike Napoli, Melky Cabrera, Mark Reynolds, Daniel Nava, and Matt Holliday.

Here are team-by-team transactions for the simulation.
