It's Baseball Prospectus's newest podcast: DFA! Host Bryan Grosnick (Baseball Prospectus), co-host R.J. Anderson (CBS Sports), and producer Shawn Brody (Beyond the Box Score, BP Mets) are talking about all the transactions and roster moves that make MLB go. From trades and signings to callups and disabled list stints, DFA is here to provide analysis and commentary on all things baseball.
On the 17th episode of the DFA podcast, Bryan and Shawn are joined by special guest Ben Diamond (Baseball Prospectus, The Dynasty Guru) to discuss three big moves now that we're firmly ensconced in trade season. First, the Yankees acquired Todd Frazier, David Robertson, and Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox … but did they overpay given the talent that went back to Chicago? Then a team that almost certainly didn't overpay for their new talent: the Arizona Diamondbacks. After acquiring J.D. Martinez for three infield prospects, how are the guys dealing with a trade that seems in Arizona's favor? Finally, the team rehashes the Nationals' bullpen overhaul, and wonders if there's anything else that Washington can do to improve their 'pen.
