You may have noticed that here at PSA, we publish a lot of articles, and that means we need a lot of ideas. One of the ways we get ideas is by writing about transactions — during the season, a trade or waiver claim will usually get a news post, and then some analysis. We like to publish, and yet when Gio Urshela was traded for cash considerations in August 2018, it was such a small deal that I don’t think we published anything about it. What a surprise we were in for.
