Beef? Your Indian place is weird if you're getting beef.

Do you think something is physically wrong with Chris Sale? Last 8 starts he's got a 4.38 ERA, and that's WITH a shutout vs KC. Given up 4+ runs in 4 of those 8 starts, including 5 each in his last 3 starts. Is this all just mental, or is there something phisical with is?

Dan Szymborski

12:15

Hard to tell - I thought something was physicall wrong until he went on that run in May/June.

12:16

I'm mildly concerned though.

Pita

12:16

The preamble to the trade value series has me thinking that the Padres really need to do something at the deadline to give themselves a shot since they've done the right thing and given up all that surplus value with Tatis and Paddack.

Dan Szymborski

12:16

They're slowly drifting out of contention though. Any move they make has to be someone that will be around after 2019, so no pure rentals.

12:17

So Mets want to trade Thor? Sure. Nationals go on a 12-game losing streak and make Scherzer available? Sure.

Aaron

12:17

Rank YOUR top 5 prospects at this time. Please :)

Dan Szymborski

12:17

I'm working on midseason top 100!

(Then we'll do two per year starting next year)

12:17

Will there be donuts?

Dan Szymborski

12:18

I only get donuts once a year. I'm fat enough from beer and not enough exercise. If I start eating terribly too, I'm going to need a rascal!

If Galileo or any other cat of yours becomes a spokes cat for Chewy.com we will know who the real sellout is Dan. Moving on. Who impressed you the most from the Futures Games activities? I assume you didn’t go all fanboy over McKenzie Gore.

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Deivi Garcia looked absolutely nasty.

Matt

12:19

Dan. Lunch. Pause, please.

Dan Szymborski

12:19

You know when my chat is, you gotta start eating lunch at 11:30 or 1:00!

Chris

12:19

Where is Jerry dipoto?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Set your radar to trades

John

12:19

Who says no first to Almora and Happ for Merrifield?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

Probably Royals because Royals.

And really I'm not sure if that's ideal for ROyals.

12:20

I think they'd overrate Almora, but not enough to overcome their weird belief that they're on the edge of contending again.

Szymbo Slice

12:20

Dan, so nice of you to join us a week late.

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I was in Cleveland last week!

Chris

12:20

Is Kyle seager done?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I'm very rapidly getting there.

Chris

12:21

Domingo Santana gets traded yes or no?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

I think yes and not just because Dipoto is his boss.

Kenny

12:21

How many friends do you have that you would pop something on their back for? Do you need one more?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Eww

RotoLando

12:21

Andrew Cashner? Andrew... Cashner?

Chris

12:21

Who should Houston target? A stud like Boyd that costs a ton, or an inning eater like leake who costs way less?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Given the long-term uncertainty in the rotation, I'd want to target someone like Boyd who I would want long-term.

Gub Gub

12:22

Which minor league organization will be the first to send their players across country in Conestoga wagons?

Dan Szymborski

12:22

MARLINS ATTEMPT TO FORD RIVER, SIXTO SANCHEZ DROWNS

12:23

VICTOR VICTOR HAS DIED OF DYSENTERY

Perplexed Giants Fan

12:23

I feel like I wouldn't be shocked if the Giants traded Bumgarner for a Darvish like package of a top 100 prospect and two other pieces, then again I feel like I wouldn't be shocked if we got about what we got for McCutchen last year (a pair of top 20 org prospects). Where do you fall on that?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

I'd be shocked at the former.

12:23

Any sense on teams' recent/current ability to scout in Venezuela given political upheaval? There have been whispers that only certain terms were really able to watch things firsthand or is that true?
