And I think they'd be insistent on Volpe as the top-line SS, not Peraza

Dan

1:13

If you magically knew a prospect was going to age like Barry Bonds and noone else did could you sign them to a 25 year contract?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

Well, if I knew that I certainly would!

1:14

Though their agent might be suspicious I have a time machine

Garrosh

1:14

This feels like a dumb question, but Taylor Ward is over and not coming back, right?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

It is worrisome he's backslid in his approach

He's got a swingstika going now

If you were the Nats, and sure that you're going to move Bell in a separate deal, would you take on Hosmer if SD was willing to take Corbin and that's what it took to get better prospects?

Dan Szymborski

1:16

I probably would take Hosmer

1:17

Praise him constantly and keep telling him how much the team is going to suck and hope he opts out

samm

the nats are trying to sell the team. they will do what make the team an attractive thing to buy for lots of money. No one is going to be willing to pay more because they have X prospect or xyzandq prospect. But the would be willing to pay more for a lesser payroll, or just having Juan Soto.

Dan Szymborski

1:17

Nobody's changing a $2-$3 billion bid because of a short-term Patrick Corbin contract

Dan

1:18

The team the has the most games remaining against the nationals has their playoff odds increased the most by trading for Soto.

Adam

What % of random players from the '90s can you picture what they look like in your head? Like, if I just say "Joey Hamilton," is his face burned in your memory?

Dan Szymborski

1:19

Honestly, 90s faces are more burned into my head than *current* ones

It's juts a product of the age I was at

Dan

1:19

If Buster Posey wanted to he could play MLB baseball this October right?

Dan Szymborski

1:19

Well, if he signs before the roster deadline, sure

He'd have a month or two to get the cobwebs out

Players come back after being injured for half a season

and he wasn't injured

1:20

just kinda chilling

(I assume)

1:20

I think the 'heater' comment was to not use it like 'this team is on a heater' aka hot streak.

Dan Szymborski

1:20

oh yeah, ikill that with fire

drinternet

1:20

Do the Jays have enough prospects to offer in a deal for Soto without including Bichette/Manoah?

Dan Szymborski

1:20

I think they could, but don't think you'll still have Moreno *and* Orelvis!

1:21

and honestly, *or* may be more accurate

Farhandrew Zaidman

1:21

We all agree that mic'ing the battery of Cortes and Trevino was the best part of the Allstar Game, right?

Vlad’s Dad

1:21

What is the baseball equivalent of the fake grass they put on sushi trays?

Dan Szymborski

1:21

fake commissioner on podium

On that note, time for me to take off for another week!

Thanks for coming everyone!
