2019 JLB Winter Meetings loom ... again


The 2019 Winter Meetings are here starting tomorrow night.

And it’s right now as I research last year’s meeting that I realize that this is the second 2019 Winter Meeting.

I completely forgot that we did it in January last year, so here we are doing it again in 2019.

Monday through Wednesday will be our Winter Meetings on Slack from 9 p.m. to midnight each night. Every owner should make an effort to check your messages on those evenings.

Why should you?

Easy, the JLB World Series awaits the winner of the Winter Meetings!

At least that is what we saw last year.

Breakfast made a pair of big deals during last January’s meetings and he went on to win his first JLB World Series.

So that has to be the recipe to win, right?

Well, not so fast.

Looking back at it now, the Winter Meetings maybe had nothing to do with it.

He got Trevor Bauer — who underperformed — in a costly deal that sent away Jo Adell.


And he also got Hunter Renfroe and Michael Kopech for 2019 All-Stars Charlie Morton and Yasmani Grandal from Quad Eh. … The two All-Stars played a key role in getting Quad Eh to the World Series, so let’s revamp my statement.

Participating in the JLB Winter Meetings greatly increases your chances of making the World Series.

It’s science.
