La Stella to Boston or Cleveland for Price, Kluber, or Carrasco: reasonable? La Stells seems like he actually has more value than any of those three, but would Boston or Cleveland be interested?

Dan Szymborski

12:40

Umm, straight up? Because that's a no.

Oddball Herrera

Cole is projected to make $9000 per pitch next year. Requesting access to a time machine to go have a chat with the 16 year old me who quit baseball

Dan Szymborski

12:41

Teams ought to pay $9000 per PA to *not* have Ian Desmond on their roster, so $9000 for Cole pitches seems like a great deal.

Matt W

12:41

If the Mets had made absolutely zero moves for players outside the organization over the last 14 months, would they be a better team today & going forward than they are now?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

No. They wouldn't have Stroman for one

Ben

12:41

Is there any place that shows WAR-breakdown by position for specific players? For example, if one wanted to know how much WAR Ketel Marte was worth last year as an INF vs. as an OF?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I don't believe so

GRB

12:41

gonna see that cats movie?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

I would imagine at *some* point, but not something I'd go to the theater to see

Guest

12:42

I am starting to get the sinking feeling that this will be another off-season of "Welp, at least we sent in a competitive offer" stories coming out of the Twins front office.

Big Joe Mufferaw

12:42

Who starts at 3rd base for yankees on opening day, and who finishes with more games at 3rd in 2020?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

I think Urshela and Andujar gets a lot of DH time

Oddball Herrera

12:42

I don't know how the Rockies could trade Arenado without committing to a full tear down (Story, Gray, etc). It doesn't make sense to do it halfway

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Since when do the Rockies have to make sense?

Some Insider

12:43

HOT TAKE! Nolan Arenado is the next guy to hit 600 HRs in MLB.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

He's still 60 behind Trout

ryan

12:44

do you think the Reds could make a compelling offer for Correa/Seager/Lindor without giving up Senzel?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

I think they could, but it would involve multiple top 50 guys as a start to the package, I think

Jerry B

12:44

If SFG offered Bumgarner the 5/100+ he's reportedly asking for, would he return?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I think so

Dick Williams

12:45

Assuming I can only do one, should I upgrade at SS or sign Ozuna?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

SS is more crucial, but the options are a lot harder with Didi off the map

Je Suis Le Pomme

12:46

Does David Fletcher produce more career WAR than Erick Aybar (18.2)? If so, by how much?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

ZiPS has him in the 20s

Nahtan

12:46

What kind of line does ZiPS project for Carter Keiboom if he were to play a full season in 2020?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

Some straight-up cheating here!

Sir Nerdlington

12:47

Do the Cubs really have enough money to keep that rule 5 pick?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

heh

Sean

12:47

Dan, you never answered any of the questions in your ZIPS preview article. Why did you lie to us?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

It's been a hectic week so I haven't been back in there since last week. I'll check 'em out!

Bubba

12:48

The Mets are higher in projected WAR in the FG depth charts than the Nationals, Braves, and Phillies. How much will that change before spring training?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Well, ZiPS doesn't like the Mets quite as much, so I guess that would go down

Matt

12:48

So David Price is a starbucks breakfast sandwich? Got it.

TomBruno23

12:48

Nothing sexual at all. I enjoy grapefruit and I tend to get a little excited when it is the winter and prime grapefruit season (at least as far as what our markets get here in STL)

Jerry B

12:48

How has the Astros cheating been factored into their 2020 projections?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

None.

What factor would add that isn't completely thrown out of my butt?

Matt

12:49

What do you think Betances does? Does he go for a 1-year deal to try to prove himself, or is he able to solidify a few years based on history? 4 years $55MM?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

I think he'll get a rich, luxurious, pillow deal.
