I'm confused about something about MLB.?

Question

I saw in the newspaper that after Manny Ramirez was traded, he had to start over his stats sort of, like as a Dodger, but then Adam Dunn traded to the Diamondbacks still had his stats from the season with the Reds, it said in the paper. How is this?

Answer 1

new league

Answer 2

When a player is traded to another league (American to National, National to American) their stats reset.  If a player is traded to a team in the same league, their stats stay the same.  The stats are kept separately in both leagues.  Hope I helped!

Answer 3

Once you're traded you start with new stats.

Answer 4

Manny went from the AL to the NL but Dunn was traded to another NL team so no changes need to be made.

Remember that Manny often batted as a DH but did no fielding where as now if he doesn't play he gets no at bats. I believe this is the only reason they start over.

Jason Bay started new stats when he went to Boston from the Pirates.

Answer 5

Manny went to AL to NL Dunn just went to another NL team.

Answer 6

Once they get traded They start over so you can see what they're doing for their new team

Answer 7

Manny went from the AL to the NL and Dunn stayed in the NL

Answer 8

If you are traded within the same league, your stats continue. If you are traded to the other league, you start over.

Still, Willie McGee when traded by St. Louis to Oakland won the batting title in the NL.  

Answer 9

dunn stayed in national league...stats remain

ramirez went form american league to NL...stats not transferable except they will all be on his baseball card next year.you can't lead a league in a statistical catergory if your stats are from another league

Answer 10

When you switch divisons you restart like Manny/Bay but like Dunn he still in NL divison.  

Answer 11

Stats are tracked separately by league, mainly for statistical championships like the batting title or home run title.

Ramirez went from the AL to slumming in the NL, so his Dodger stats get a separate line from his Red Sox stats. Dunn, however, just sidestepped across the NL. For this accounting purpose, everything gets dumped into one bin.

QED.
