Do you think the Mets will hold off making a major signing before getting a GM?

Ben Clemens

3:30

Yes

Hindsight

What could the Red Sox have done differently to keep Kookie Betts

Ben Clemens

3:30

Seems like the obvious answer is simply not traded him last offseason

That would do the trick

Drew Haugen

3:30

What's your guess on the biggest surprise team in 2021?

3:30

Jays win AL East

C@$hman

I have $30M to spend. What’s better for the team: Lemahieu and Tanaka or Didi Gregorius and

Ben Clemens

3:31

DJLM and Masa

Garret

3:31

It seems everyone's writing off Arraez but he did have improved hard hit rate and launch angle... What are the odds he hits double digit HR in 2021 and if so how valuable would he be?

Ben Clemens

3:31

I'm not off Arraez yet

Still love the profile, he hits the ball so dang hard

Matt

How valuable is continuity in a coaching staff and/or front office? On average, do teams stick with failing coaches too long, are they took quick to make a change, or about right? Same for GMs.

Ben Clemens

3:31

I think it's most valuable in the front office

But def also valuable in coaching

3:32

I think that teams are too quick to make a change with coaches, about right on GM's

Derek

3:32

Lol we have tended to use Jackbox as a palate cleanser from Among Us, but yes really can't go wrong with either!

Ben Clemens

3:32

I haven't played much Among Us but I always have a great time

Mike Rizzo

3:32

What moves should I make?

Ben Clemens

3:32

I think you've done a pretty good job! Go with your gut, it's been working

doug

3:32

what's your craziest off season prediction? mine is Bauer to angels

Ben Clemens

Adrian Beltre unretires to try to lead the Rangers back to the playoffs

Brad of The Rip Griffin Show

3:33

Where do you think that Jackie Bradley Jr. ends up?

Ben Clemens

3:33

Detroit for no good reason

Tokomo

3:33

Max Stassi probably won't be close to as good as 2020 in full-time reps in 2021, will he?

Ben Clemens

3:33

Hm.... no

Guest

3:33

Eh, are you Canadian?

Ben Clemens

3:33

Hm.... no

Dinkelberg!

3:33

How much of Austin Meadows 2020 decline can be attributed to COVID/injuries and how much just natural regression from a huge season?

Ben Clemens

3:33

I can't give you percentages on each but it's yes to both

Mike Rizzo

3:33

Are Kieboom, Garcia, Cavalli, Rutledge part of my future?

Ben Clemens

3:33

Yes, no, yes, yes? Guessing

Some Guy

3:34

When do you think the hot stove will heat up?

Ben Clemens

3:34

January. I think we need more season certainty

Alright, on that note, I'm out of here. Thanks so much for stopping by to chat today. Let's do it again next week!
