Engagement
A typical post picks up 50 interactions against 834K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 80 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 4,273 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 40K times each, and 0.126% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 80 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 641 interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
MLB Trade Rumors's engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 10% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Measured over 80 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 4,273 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 40K times each, and 0.126% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is MLB Trade Rumors's engagement rate on X?
- MLB Trade Rumors (@mlbtraderumors) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 80 original posts from the last 30 days against 833,615 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.006%, MLB Trade Rumors sits above the 10th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @mlbtraderumors have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @mlbtraderumors post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
