I think she might end up switching back if they completely blow it up and the O's get good

Colton

Cobb?

Big Pants Pascual

2:23

Andres Gimenez?

Yanks

Gleyber?

HYTT

bryan reynolds

Ben Clemens

2:23

No to all four, with mixed goodness of guesses

Kirk?

Ben Clemens

2:23

There it is

2:24

the commenter with insane loyalty to United gets two out of three

flying to Newark, hilarious!

Dipoto

2:24

What do you think Dipoto looks to do at deadline. SP is crucial with Kirby running out of bullets and Gilbert likely need skipped on occasion. Wouldn't Blake Snell make some sense? Padres reportedly wanting to move his salary and they have excess arms, and Snell wants to play in Seattle anyways. Padres want hitting help now. Would a Kelenic for Snell + Prospect make sense on both sides? Teams shift prospects based on positional need and mariners get the innings and upside

Appa Yip Yip

2:25

NGL my entire purpose in asking the question was to fish for some Alejandro Kirk love.

Ben Clemens

2:25

Whoops, let's do these in order

Got carried away

I don't think that Kelenic and Snell will get swapped, with a prospect included

I think the Mariners will be in on pitching, perhaps NLC pitching, and then will make an effort on Soto

Two of the greatest airports!* *do not fly anything but united

2:27

Southwest is the best airline and this is the hill I will die on

Ben Clemens

2:27

Alaska for me

Jack

2:28

In terms of Soto to NYY, Gleyber would seem to be one of the nicer pieces someone could dangle, although probably doesn't line up with Washington's timeline?

Ben Clemens

2:28

Uh.... no

Gleyber would not be one of the nicer pieces someone could dangle, and he also wouldn't be on Washington's timeline

Coliseum Dumpsterfire

2:28

Are you surprised at the overall lack of pitching being drafted?

KGJR24

2:28

Where do you expect Logan Poteet to go?

Ben Clemens

2:28

No idea!

I am definitely not the draft guy

Malcolm Nunez

2:29

I've changed my mind. Seattle is the most fun landing spot for Soto. I want him and Rodriguez playing together for the next 15 years

Josh

2:29

How about the Guardians as a Soto dark horse candidate? Need outfield offense badly and have a ton of young middle infield talent. Could send Andres Gimenez, Espino and more. Obviously money could be a challenge here...

Ben Clemens

2:29

oh man

imagine the Guardians trading for a player with short team control and a big salary

hilarious!

I could use a laugh today

Jason N

2:29

Do you think Soto is traded this season, or in the offseason? Can the Nats pull together all of the in-depth knowledge about other team’s prospects in a couple of weeks or should they wait until the offseason to have more due diligence even if it reduces the offers because you only get 2 championship runs instead of 3?

Ben Clemens

2:30

I think he'll be traded this season. If the Nats haven't been pulling together in-depth knowledge about other team's top prospects based on the contingency of trading Soto, they should fire their scouting department

Insert Witty Name Here

2:30

Look at all the rich people in here who can still afford to fly!

Travis

2:30

I totally forgot Austin Riley is only 25. Is prime Riley a potential 50 HR threat?

Ben Clemens

2:30

Yeah, definitely

2:31

Kinda wild that he's only 25

GA Blood

2:31

Has there been any discussion about someone revisiting Craig Edwards’ seminal articles on prospect valuation? They’re approaching 4 years old, so it might be interesting to see if anything has changed.

Ben Clemens

2:31

Yeah, it's worth doing
