Is Mike the Zips guy you've been stealing from all these years?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

No, that guy's in my dungeon

Indians

12:49

We... we failed at this window, didn't we?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I don't think it's shut yet.

LFC Mike

Dan. Do you need a visit from FEMA due to the raccoon and the no longer kittens but still rambunctious young cats?😾😻😽🙀😹

Dan Szymborski

12:50

Thankfully there's not much in the attic to damage. It really just damaged an area of insulation.

Tommy

12:51

If you're the Padres this offseason would you rather sign Madbum or Gibson? How many innings do you think Gore will contribute?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

No idea on Gore, but I imagine it won't be a huge amount of innings.

Gibson in SD would be intriguing

Michael

Re: punching the astros in 2020...i believe they effected the integrity of the game, or attempted to, consistently over a long stretch so the punishment to be punitive and serve as to deter all other teams. How about providing every player on their 40man an immediate opt out option?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

You're essentially giving the Astros a penalty there worth tens of millions of dollars. Is that in proportion to other things that teams have done?

12:52

This isn't a new thing really.

Suspensions

12:53

I think the league is going to make an example of HOU, fair or not, so yes, I think tens of millions is going to occur.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I don't think they do, because if the penalties for the violations and covering up are severe, I think we see more allegations floating around.

12:54

Remember just a few years ago you had the Red Sox-Yankees swapping technological sign stealing accusations

12:55

I don't think it's going to be an order of magnitude larger than the Cards got for Correa.

a few million bucks and a couple of draft picks

12:56

but something on the level of LET EVERYONE IN THE ORGANIZATION BE A FREE AGENT seems grossly out of proportion

Homer

12:56

The Houston players participated in the cheating (at least the ones who didn't refuse to do so) so giving them an opt out would be giving them an undeserved reward when they were not blameless

Banned

12:56

do you think anyone from the Astros (players or staff) gets a lifetime ban?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Adam

12:57

When will we get lasers instead of chalk for the foul lines, and why is the answer "not soon enough?"

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I think it should be a blood filled moat

Adam

12:57

Where does Ryu end up?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up somewhere like San Diego

Suspensions

12:57

Ah, but does MLB want to risk being seen as not caring, or risk having more teams punished?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I think they'd like a balance

Michael

12:58

Why? They got caught AFTER the red sox/nyy warning. The value of a WS win is estimated at around $70mm. A small penalty means everyone should do it.

Dan Szymborski

12:58

There's a difference between a large penalty and an absolutely ludicrous one.

12:59

Your proposal is absolutely ludicrous.

CamdenWarehouse

12:59

how about a cherry-filling filled moat instead?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Mine's more edgy

John

12:59

On WAR value: Non-linear how exactly?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

It does not appear that teams are valuing the first win of a player anywhere near $8+ million.

CubFan

12:59

Where do you think Didi ends up? How much of a chance he ends up back with the Yankees?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Reds or Brewers would be a fun fit

Michael

1:00

Maybe but it sure would be a fun offseason!

Dbo

1:00

What if they implement a rule for sign stealing that you have to donate blood to fill the moat? Killing two birds with one stone

Michael

1:00

and provide A LOT of goodwill to the players union
