That's kinda what makes me curious, though. You can see the trend of players released on roster decision day vs players who leave during the winter or rest of season. (obviously that trend is "the player was bad", but we can also see more clearly what signings are regarded as "temporary" i.e. struna, amagat, vs who was just "bad")
I'm definitely not asking you to do this, but I'm curious as to what other clubs' similar timelines look like for their signings.A couple more grey boxes so I figured I'd post an update.
Also, I know how this place loves more fodder for pessimism ...
Sheikh: Oh my. Well, I'll just buy that team. Rebrand them "XZY" City. Problem Solved.
Okay. In response to many suggestions/comments I've done some work on this.
First, for posterity, below is a full reckoning going back to 2014. Understand that the intent of this is to get a sense of the progression of different points in the season. It's kind of like an enthusiasm scale. So when lots of players are signed at the same time (e.g., expansion draft), I just stacked them up, even though that pushes them well past the date they were signed.
Unfortunately, this makes the whole thing look really misleading by comparison when 2014 and 2015 are included with later years.
So below the full history chart I have included a chart that is just 2016 through today. This will be the one I continue to update. I've eliminated the subjective "high priced player" shading and now only designate DPs with the green color. I welcome any other suggestions for what to demarcate.
And the cleaner version with just 2016-2019:

I know, but it's fun watching people freak out on Twitter. ATL fans are not happy. The Almiron deal is dragging out and this guy isn't signed yet. So when he shows up in NYC...
ATL fans can go suck a dick, but we already knew that.
