    Really wish I'd saved my copy of that issue, seeing what they're selling for on eBay today.

    I think I have mine somewhere. What are they going for?

    It depends if they have Mark Appel and Brady Aiken autographs.

    (I love that part. They built this while completely whiffing on two #1 overall picks.)

    This one has 13 bids up to $202.50, isn't autographed and even has the subscription address on it. Mine at least was bought at the newsstand and is thus, "clean." Time to get it up on eBay.

    I bet an autographed copy would slay.

    Though failing to sign Aiken gave them the No. 2 overall pick in 2015 as compensation, which they used on Alex Bregman.

    They are a big market team built on free agents and outspending other teams.

    The cover lines get the attention, but the reporting that goes into these stories really help illuminate how the game has changed and teams have become to be managed quite similarly to stock portfolios.

    Is SI predicting how many staffers it will let go in the next round of cuts?
