Ongoing Fire Sale Coverage – Lessons

by
June 26, 2014

Last week, I admitted I was conducting something of a fire sale in my FanGraphs staff ottoneu league. This is a big deal for me, I’m usually a harsh opponent of any kind of fire sale – they’re boring (once completed) and rarely pay off half as well as the seller expects. Mike Trout is a rare beast who has elevated everybody’s expectations of a top prospect. Most are like Jason Heyward or Domonic Brown or (gasp) Fernando Martinez – something goes wrong with either health or the skill set and leaves the owner with less than they expected.

A Fire Sale But Not A Liquidation

by
June 20, 2014

For those of us in keeper leagues, it’s the season of the fire sale. Owners without any hope of reaching first place are looking for top prospects in return for high priced veterans. Sometimes it pays to be the first team at the bonfire – the best prospects are still available for your talent.

A fire sale implies a discount, just like a liquidation. Owners who settle for pennies on the dollar may be doing themselves a disservice over the long run. Whether it’s due to pride or game theory, I’m convinced the best course of action is to sell at full price or not at all.
