A blog analyzing Major League Baseball through the lens of Astrology
Welcome to Astrology Baseball, a project where I arrange MLB players into teams based on their astrological signs, and then pit those teams against each other in mock fantasy seasons.

2025 All-Acquired American League
Earlier this week, I took a look at the top players who were acquired by National League teams in the 2024-25 offseason. Now it’s time to shift my focus from the senior to the junior circuit, to look at which American League teams had the most impactful trades and/or free agent signings.

2025 All-Acquired National League
With Pisces season and the start of Major League Spring Training now upon us, it’s time for one of my favorite offseason projects: All-Acquired Teams, where the NL has the best top-end.

All-Acquired Teams: Post Lockout
The bifurcated nature of this year’s offseason creates an opportunity for TWO All-Acquired teams per league. MLB made a similar move during 1981, when the season itself was split in half due to a player’s strike, so it’s fitting that this dual All-Acquired situation is also due to a labor dispute.

NL All-Acquired 2021-22
The National League’s newly acquired players top those of the American League by a fantasy point margin of almost 2,000 points (27,421 to 25,744). Even though my database only counts players added to Major League rosters, it’s a good starting point to see where things stand as the lockout approaches it’s third month.

AL All Acquired 2021-22
The MLB lockout brought offseason business to a grinding halt on December 1st 2021. But luckily for us Hot Stove enthusiasts, general managers around the league made no attempt to gently pump the brakes heading into that deadline, squeezing in almost a full offseason’s worth of transactions into a little under a month.

2021 All-Acquired American League
My goal of this project is ultimately to look back at Fantasy Astrology lineups through baseball history, but I find myself getting caught up in the excitement current season. So I’ll start devoting one of my three weekly posts to 2021 (Tuesdays), while still getting through one year of FABL history (Fridays) plus some year-related commentary (Sundays). This week’s 2021 post is the continuation of the All-Acquired analysis I started last Tuesday.

2021 All-Acquired National League
Before I was an Astrology Baseball junkie, I was a transactions/roster construction junkie. I do realize the irony here insofar as Astrology Baseball doesn’t provide for roster moves of any kind, since a player’s sign is determined at birth and can’t change (except in the rare cases where I get the dates wrong).
