"There’s more in an article by Eno Sarris in The Athletic headlined “Ten early season MLB numbers that could be cause for alarm”: Pressly’s declining stuff — he’s lost velocity and ride on the four-seam, which has become more cutter-like, and his curve is his only remaining above-average pitch — will probably cost him the closer’s role sooner rather than later."

2024
"Back in 2016, Fangraphs writer Eno Sarris came up with four variables: When he uses his best relievers."

2023
"Overperformers My preseason look at the Cubs and projections highlighted an excellent piece from Eno Sarris and Sahadev Sharma explaining the 80th/20th percentile outcomes for the Cubs, including which players would need to hit particular levels to reach those upper echelon results."

"The A’s are re-signing Jed Lowrie to a one-year contract, reports Eno Sarris of the Athletic (Twitter link)."

"The latter may have the bigger impact on the season as a whole, as The Athletic’s Eno Sarris and Ken Rosenthal (subscription required) report that the league has sent a memo to teams…"

"Cameron Maybin’s name has emerged as part of trade discussions between the Tigers and Cubs, the Athletic’s Eno Sarris and Brittany Ghiroli report (subscription required)."

"The Mets have struck a deal with free agent righty Rick Porcello, according to Ken Rosenthal and Eno Sarris of The Athletic (via Twitter)."

"In an interview with Eno Sarris of The Athletic that ran on Monday, the Giants shortstop credited some advice that Barry Bonds once gave him for helping him improve his approach at the plate with two strikes this year."

"Finding the Next Kyle Hendricks, by Eno Sarris Eno is on the chase."

2016
"Eno Sarris of FanGraphs collected quotes from a handful of major leaguers last June that paint an optimistic picture of MLB's readiness for its first openly gay player."

2015
" For example, anyone who ventures to read the latest from Eno Sarris of FanGraphs will find Harper has plenty to say about hitting."

"It's no wonder that, according to Eno Sarris of FanGraphs, moving Posey to third base has supporters in the Giants front office."
