The MVP Machine

I recently pre-ordered The MVP Machine by Ben Lindbergh and Travis Sawchik, and I wanted to take a minute to recommend this book to like-minded baseball fans. I really enjoyed Ben's previous book, The Only Rule Is It Has To Work, co-written with Sam Miller, Ben's co-host on Fangraph's Effectively Wild podcast (Nate Silver called the book "brutally honest" and "blissfully funny").

If you pre-order before June 4th (and forward your receipt to themvpmachine@gmail.com) you'll also get "a bonus chapter, an exclusive conversation about the book, and other extras" (on June 4th).

Semi-Retired?

In other news, I recently received the following e-mail:

As many of you know, I was effectively "semi-retired" for several years while struggling with some health problems. But I'm now back to work full-time, and really appreciating all the positive feedback around this year's game. If you haven't played Baseball Mogul 2019 yet, the free version is now available here. And, through this weekend, you can still get 30% off the full version by using the coupon code 'NEWSLETTER' at checkout.

Free Downloads for U.S. Active Military

Finally, a reminder that Baseball Mogul and Football Mogul continue to be free for all active members of the United States armed forces with access to a ".mil" e-mail address, Just enter the coupon code 'MILITARY' at checkout. Please forward this information to friends and family who would benefit from it.

Thanks!
