Dan Szymborski

They've gotten a shocking, almost magical amount of health given the pitchers involved

Quarantino Martinez

12:26

Do you think Joey Gallo gets moved when he watches the Lion King?

Dan Szymborski

12:26

MUFASA NO

Dan

12:26

Thoughts on the Orioles draft strategy of taking college bats early and senior pitchers late?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

Seems reasonable. They haven't developed a lot of bats

Dave

12:27

And yet sprint speed is ft/s for some unknown reason

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I'd do mph!

Vlad's Dad

12:27

What kind of realistic return could the Blue Jays expect if they were to shop Semien? Also, what kind of contract do you think he will merit this offseason? The MIF market is pretty deep and he's on the wrong side of 30. Would something at 4-5 years/$110M-$140M get it done?

Dan Szymborski

12:27

I don't thin khe's going to get anywhere near that even if you can make an argument that he deserves it

The uncertainty with CBA is just going to make everyone even more conservative, I think

Kate

12:28

Should the Dodgers look at calling up Josiah Gray for a rotation spot once he's fully ramped up? Will they? He's looked dope since coming back from shoulder issues.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Yes. Probably.

12:29

I think it's going to be a careful role, like Urias in 2019-2020

Jim Leyland Palmer

12:29

Does Corey Seager take a 1 year deal to re-set value, or his he cashing in big the winter no matter what?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

I think he's at the level where he can go for the splash

Farhad Zaidi

12:29

What am I going to do?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

I thin kthe Giants acquire one more starting pitchers and maybe a mid-tier reliever

Greg

12:31

Re: the Braves offseason -- would you shop Freeman before the contract expires?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Check Swing

12:31

Thoughts on trade targets for the Brewers at the deadline?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

JOEY GALLO

Again, I talk about this more with jay tomorrow

But let Keston work on his issues in the minors

Joe Backson

12:32

ZiPS seems to think Ramon Urias is for real. What is it about a 27 year old with practically no MLB experience and decent but not outstanding minor league numbers that leads to a 112 wRC+ projection?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

For a guy who can play short and no good hitters parks in minors, I'd argue that as very good minor league numbers

12:34

(as in he didn't have one as a home park, not that there aren't good hitters parks in the minors)

I'd probably take the under, but not THAT much

Cat Latos

12:34

How do my cat friends do?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

last I saw, Mercutio was asleep in the upstairs hallway and Constantine in the spoon thing in the cat tree in the den

12:35

Cassiopeia was last seen in her preferred guest room in limbless mode in middle of bed

12:36

and Justinian is sleeping on a pillow on my left desk. He was a bit annoyed that he got his collar replaced (he got out of the old one and was without for a week while I was waiting for it to turn up)

Smiling Politely

12:36

What do you think the chances of a non-NL West team making the playoffs are (higher/lower than the FG odds)? And who do you think it would be (PHI or CHC)?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I think they're about right

Probably Philly at this point

Thomas

12:36

Something I learned from the All-Star uniforms: the Blue Jays are the only team whose logo isn't their team/city initials

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I tried to not look at he uniforms

Dan in Toronto
