This has to be the worst chart design ever. And the comments are letting them know, lol
Familiarity has bred activity between the MLB clubs and that can be an advantage at this time of year, when time is precious and the deadline is lurking.
So, who trades with whom?

so far, Casas has done nothing that suggests the Mariners should have traded a starting pitcher for him

What we're learning with the ABS Challenges is that umpires are much better at this than batters and catcher/pitchers
When batters are CONVINCED they are right, they are only right 50% of the time
And catchers/pitcher are only slightly higher than that
Still, the egregious calls are being flipped

Trump has declared himself king in word and deed. Every elected Republican is OK with it. Which, in practical reality, means that we do indeed have a king.
The question now is what will anyone do about it?

This has become a popular metaphor on the Right and it captures their political project so precisely:
The unruly kids, that’s everyone who dares to deviate from white Christian patriarchal rule; the only way to deal with them is via coercion and violence – the Leader must punish them.

It’s fine to be mad the Dodgers have built the Death Star.
But please remember that every MLB team is owned by billionaires who could absolutely afford to spend more money on payroll but choose to line their own pockets instead. The Dodgers had owners like this 13 years ago! Mets, three years ago!

"Sasaki signed with the Dodgers, as many expected" does not equal "the whole process was a sham, other teams had no real shot, and Sasaki didn't take the process seriously." I guess I shouldn't be surprised by how many posts I'm seeing argue the latter is true, though
