There are many aspects to a general manager’s job. There is supervising the minor league system. There is negotiating with free agents.

We’ve come to the third of our continuing series of posts looking back at the trades John Mozeliak has made since he became the full-time general manager in October of 2007. While not all of them are memorable or notable, 2010 was the year Mo made more trades than any other single year. Some of [...]

I don’t care how long this post gets, we are finishing up looking at all of John Mozeliak’s trades in this post. Last time we linked to all the former posts, so if you’ve missed any you can find them there. Some of the trades in this post may be hard to grade, as they [...]
Back in the winter, I started looking at the history of John Mozeliak’s trades, what value he’d given up, what value he’d gotten, and how the players did before and after. It’s been a while since we did one of these, so here are the links if you want to go back and refresh your [...]
