The world’s first GAM-for-analyst trade, what a time to be alive

Inbox: Colorado Rapids get a 1st round pick from Toronto FC in exhange for TFC getting to hire assistant coach Neil Emblen and analyst Jase Kim. TFC can get $175K GAM and a sell on percentage from that player drafted.

Fraser’s getting his band back together. @wakingthered.bsky.social

It’s prudent not to ask how much of the trade value is allocated to each person.

The first time I read the original one, I thought we were talking the TV announcer-type analyst and it seemed like an even more bizarre deal.

Nothing I love more than the thing I turn to for escapism from the horrors of real life than to see the bane of my existence(spreadsheets) become a tradeable commodity.
Much joy. Such satisfaction.
If you see me, please don’t ask my thoughts on “Dry January”. You’ll get more than you bargained for.

The fact that it’s actually draft pick for analyst plus possible future GAM, leaving the GAM value of an analyst theoretically non-zero yet unknown, only makes the spreadsheet formulas more thrilling, almost illicit

New goal: get a job where you can come up with data analysis to prove you’re worth the world’s most valuable resource: GAM

I was going to say, this isn't a GAM for analyst trade this is an analyst w/ possible GAM trade.

other question: which side of the trade did the analyst advise? was Kim offended that the price was too low?

“But surely the assistant coach accounts for more of the GAM?” Guess again kiddo it’s about the surplus value of the analyst’s performance over the remaining contract term, expressed in expected goal difference. Go read some Absolute Unit

I'm not sure if the fact I'm excited this is happening or that I fully understood this tweet is more concerning 🤣
