Would hace to ask them! I like having a queue

BUt it would be better if I was more selective early so I didn't fall horribly behind.

I'd *love* to answer every question, but I get way more questions than I can answer.

Devil Ray Jay Johnson

If all of the manager jobs for every non-playoff team came open after the World Series, which job would be the most coveted?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Cardinals

Southern Bleacher Bum

Chances Dylan Bundy turns it around in 2019? Will he be on the Orioles through the entire season?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

I'm increasingly skeptical about his future.

Rox Fan

12:31

Any guess as to what Arenado is reasonably looking for in a contract extension? Or is free agency pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

He's going to be pushing $200 million.

What he's personally looking for, I'm not sure.

Would Mets take Soroka, Riley, and Gohara for Syndergaard? Three high ranking MLB ready prospects so they don't go to immediate "rebuild" and have a solid infield for the future (Alonso, McNeil, Rosario, Riley). Braves get a true ace while still keeping several of their top young arms and can pursue Donaldson in FA while moving Camargo to utility. Seems like a win win to me.

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I don't think it's a crazy trade, though I think I'd go a little lighter - I think the package is a little better than the Sale package, which I also loved.

12:33

But the problem is, I don't think the Mets will take a non-crazy trade if it's just prospect-types

If PHI signs Corbin, which if any of their incumbent SP's do they move to make room? TEX fan here who would love to get Eickhoff back.

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I think Eickhoff would be the most likely to be traded

Mike Matheny to the Royals should make the other 29 teams very happy, no?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Yes

Baseball Guy

Think M's will succeed in trading Cano? What someone have to give back real prospects?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I think they'll trade Cano but not get serious prospects.

Jason N

12:35

Lots of trade chatter involving Wil Myers. Does he have any real trade value or more of a salary dump/swap of big (and not very good) contracts?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

Padres would have to eat quite a bit

WhamBamThankYou Fan

12:35

Yankees still in lead on Corbin? Given Yanks seem to still want to remain under luxury tax threshold, does his signing likely mean no Machado and a low cost Didi stand-in? Thanks!

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I still think it's posturing.

The tax threshold

What is the Twins plan this offseason?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I think there's a good chance that the Twins shock with a signing, though not Machado/Harper

Put Away the Jimmy Gobble Jokes

12:36

Which team do you get the least questions about? Tigers? Rangers?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

They're definitely down there.

12:37

Not because they're the worst or something, but incompetent lousy teams get more comments.

Irrational Man

12:38

Is Brandon Nimmo a 3-WAR player moving forward?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I think he is.

Kristen

12:38

Is Choo totally untradeable right now? Bat useful but solely a DH at this point.

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I don't believe so. THe question is how much the Rangers are willing to eat.

James

12:38

If Trout went to the O's wouldn't they just trade him?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Sure, but you could get ALL THE BACON AND EGGS YOU HAVE for him

Vinny

12:38

Mike Leake to the Padres for?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I'm mostly interested in Leake for the Padres because he enables Segura-for-Myers, at least in the rumor which I'm still not sure has that much solid in it.

LFC Mike

12:39

Not including Vlad Jr..who are a few of the minor leaguers you are most excited to see in the big league next year and a favorite for ROY in both leagues?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

He's not a ROY favorite, but I STILL want to see Honeywell in the majors
