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. That is about 4.82% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. 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. Recurring topics include #dodgers, #stlcards, #mets.

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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.006%, MLB Trade Rumors sits above the 10th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,299 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 90,063 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

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.
