MLB Grades, Rankings & Analysis

How we cover MLB

FanVerdicts covers the whole league — every player, every team, every GM, and every reported move, from nine-figure free agent contracts to designations for assignment, waiver claims, and the international signing bonus pool. On each of them, you get a say: sign in to cast your Fan Verdict, see where the crowd lands, and argue the call with other fans.

FanVerdicts also brings its own read on every move as one honest input alongside the crowd's — performance that evaluates hitters and pitchers on separate scales, sentiment, and a Contract Value Index that adjusts for competitive balance tax thresholds, service-time economics, and age-curve inflection points by position. Those reads roll up into player rankings, team ratings, and GM report cards that refresh every morning with the previous day's news and box scores.

Every FanVerdicts read links to written commentary explaining the inputs that produced it, and the crowd's Fan Verdict is always there to push back. Our methodology page walks through how it all works in plain English.
