Introducing MLB DW Pro

I introduce and explain a big change to MLB Data Warehouse ahead of the 2026 season.

---

Subscribers of MLB Data Warehouse, hello.

I’ll try to make this short and sweet. But I do want to set the tone here. This Substack has been a great joy to me. It’s been so much fun to create it and improve it and go through these last three MLB seasons with it all. I don’t think the 2025 season was the best content or advice-wise, but huge progress was made in many ways.

I can almost sniff this being a full-time operation for me, or at least taking priority as my main job. And that’s what this announcement is about.

What I’m doing is introducing a new payment tier. Substack calls it the “Founding Member” subscription, but I’ve renamed it “MLB DW Pro”.

I started this as a $5 per month subscription. At this point, it was the daily notes and some other articles from me. That was before the daily projections, the Tableau dashboards, the web app, and all sorts of other stuff that I’ve added over the years. Most of you are paying less than $10/month, and you’re getting everything I have. Frankly, I’m charging way too little. And that’s fine, I’ve been happy to be really cheap over the years. But now I’m at a point where I think by charging a more market-sensitive price, I might actually be able to go full-time on this in a year or two’s time and then really make the content top-notch. I’m thinking industry-leading kind of stuff.

HERE’S THE ACTUAL ANNOUNCEMENT

There are now three payment tiers of membership to MLB DW.

#1 Free Members

You pay nothing, and you only get the articles and previews of articles that I don’t paywall. This year, that meant the entire version of each and every daily notes post. I haven’t decided on that for next year. But most likely, the meat of the daily notes will be behind the paywall. I have some ideas to change them for the better and to be a lot more helpful to season-long fantasy baseball players, and I’ll go over that when the season gets closer.

But the free membership will get you very little.

#2 Monthly or Yearly Basic Subscription

$12 month, $85/year

This is what you paid subs have right now. You’re either paying me once per year (something like $70-$100 per year), or you’re paying monthly (between $5 and $15). And whatever rate you have, that’s still yours. I can’t change that.

Until now, that has gotten you everything. But I’m taking some stuff out of that and giving that only to the new subscription option. The plan is for this level of paid subs to get everything EXCEPT FOR:

• The daily MLB projections

• Weekly MLB projections (next 10 days)

• The projections pages of the web app (projections, best bets, DFS optimizer, upcoming projections, etc).

So these subs still get all written content, dashboards, and some select projection-based tools. I’ll also be building out a team of writers to help me next year. More to come on that if you’re interested in contributing. But the point is that there will be way more content next year that this subscription level will have access to, it will still be well worth the money.

#3 MLB DW Pro Subscription

This will be $225/year. There is currently no option for a monthly subscription to it. But if people just want a month’s worth of it, we’ll get creative and make that happen for $30/month. I just don’t know exactly how that will work because Substack doesn’t offer it.

This gets you absolutely everything, and you lock that price in for the life of your membership. The stuff that makes it worth the money is access to the full daily projections, the Tableau dashboards, and the Web App, which will be improved and upgraded a ton (including making it as friendly as possible on mobile devices). I’ve had professionals tell me that the daily projections alone are worth $50/month. But I’m not going anywhere near that level.

So here’s what it looks like:

There’s not a huge rush to go upgrade now. The offseason content will go to all levels of paid membership. I’m not going to hide the team previews or season-long projections or draft content from paid subs; you’ll get all of that as long as you’re that first level of paid member.

The MLB DW PRO thing will really kick in when the season starts and the tools become more useful. But hey, if you upgrade today, you won’t have to worry about it for a year. CLICK HERE TO UPGRADE.

For current paid subs upgrading, it should only charge you the difference. So if you bought a yearly sub like a month ago, it should take that into account and only charge you the difference. But if it seems like you’re going to be double-paying, reach out to me and we’ll get it sorted.

That’s it, reach out with any questions or curse words you have for me now that I’m trying to take more money from you.

I promise you that this is all with the intention of my eventually getting to dedicate way more time to all of this and make it the best fantasy baseball publication on the Internet.

TL;DR SUMMARY

• I’m adding a higher payment tier ($225/year) ahead of next season, and the daily and weekly projection models and the tools directly related to those will be limited to this tier

• Paid subscribers who don’t upgrade to that will keep their current price and get access to everything other than the daily and weekly projections
