We have an *incredible* value proposition and we're significantly below market in where we set our prices. Look around and see: We're cheaper than just about everything that isn't free, and we do it at a premium quality and with significant volume in terms of content. I want that to stay accessible.

This is really making it difficult to achieve my goal of trying to keep myself out of the weeds when it comes to sports...

This is amazing
Done sold!

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•96 days ago

thank you so much for the support! welcome aboard!

And I need help to keep it that way. We're certainly known in the industry, but it might surprise you to know we have a bit more than 6,000 subscribers, including our monthly supporters. We're priced like we have double that figure. If we could add...a thousand? two? It would make such an impact.

Does buying the annual help?

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•98 days ago

I'm so thankful to the many, many people who have offered up testimonial here on bsky in the recent weeks, promoting BP and telling people why it's a great value. And I am going to do my best to keep it a no-brainer of a decision, I just need your help in getting the word out.

As Joe Sheehan likes to say: if you know people who love baseball, or who like baseball, or who can spell “baseball,”... let them know about us.

I think the work speaks for itself, but we need people to hear it, first.

We have big things planned for 2025 no matter what, and I can't wait for you to see them. Any additional subscriber helps us keep prices where they are and see through more of our goals, faster. Our owners are so good about reinvesting everything back into the company.

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•98 days ago

We've got so much good stuff, and we just want to bring it to as many people as possible, at an affordable price. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to spread the word.

BP360: coming soon!

ruhee.ca•97 days ago

I am a little embarrassed that I needed any convincing (I dropped off reading BP quite sharply around the pandemic) but I've subscribed. Hard to argue with anything anyone's said here about it. Hope it keeps on going forever.

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

please please please do not be embarrassed. there's no bad reason to make a decision like this, it's always up to the subscriber! Thank you so much for returning, and I hope and plan to make it beyond worth the cost.

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

that said that was the year I took over as editor-in-chief, so truly no one could blame you.

hubestar65.bsky.social•97 days ago

Just subscribed. I am a lurker, but have followed you for years on Twitter and am a big fan. Keep up the good work!

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

Thank you so much, you're too kind. I really look forward to delivering so much more than the sub cost. Feel free to bug me if you have any questions!

hubestar65.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sure! So, should our beloved Dodgers resign Joe Kelly?🤣

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

Honestly it would be a good bit

dominictrain.bsky.social•97 days ago

Absolutely every baseball fan should be subscribed here, except for the 13 other guys in my fantasy league.

kakapo87.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’m sold and I subscribed! Will there ever be a Baseball Prospectus app? I’d appreciate being able to enable notifications.

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

We don't currently have designs on an app, though it's been discussed. Our priority is on the site and some redesign stuff there. But earnestly, almost everything we publish goes live at 6:04 eastern each day, so notifications wouldn't go too far.

cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com•97 days ago

if there's something I'm missing in that, though, let me know. We always appreciate understanding more about what people are looking for.
