If you were Neil Huntington, who would you trade over the next three days?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

I'd certainly trade Dickerson. Id' rather acquire him than Castellanos

Kiley Fan #1 Most Best very hapy

12:12

Going camping next weekend and making a breakfast hash. Lots of recipes out there, any tips or tricks?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

USe fire

and potatoes

Dbo

Mayonnaise is an underrated condiment, ketchup mayo mix is great for burgers and fries!

Dan Szymborski

12:13

eww ketchup

Khaki Segura

Are there any contract stipulations that would preclude the Mets from re-trading Stroman? Not saying they WILL, but it seems like the more assets you control, the more you can get for them, if everyone has to go through you.

Dan Szymborski

12:13

Not that I know of

I doubt it would work out this way in practice

Ryan

12:13

Can the Angels pull off a Syndergaard deal without including Adell?

Dan Szymborski

12:13

Maybe

It's hard to say exactly *what* the Mets demands are

Jim Leyland Palmer

12:13

What is the expected effect of the Stroman deal for other sellers? Positive - because two sellers sold amongst themselves, essentially taking one of the competing higher-end SPs off the board, lowering the supply. or Negative - the return for TOR was quite a bit lighter than most were expecting.

Dan Szymborski

12:13

I think no effect really

Slapshot

12:13

How would you rate Trevor Bauer's antics when getting pulled from the game yesterday, both for the overall temper tantrum and the incredible throw he made?

Dan Szymborski

12:14

My first thought was "wow, maybe he should get some reps in the outfield"

Nellie

12:14

Snell's surgery went smoothly today. I have both he and Carlos Carrasco. I would like to keep both in a 10-team mix (currently I'm in first place but it's a super tight/competitive league) We have two weeks regular season left starting today and then only two rounds of 2-week playoffs. So final day of playoffs is Sept. 8th. Not sure either will pitch before then, much less effectively. Would you still hold both? Carrasco has been throwing but still not much clarity on their plans for him.

Dan Szymborski

12:14

Holding both is risky if you're competitive

Dbo

If Pete Rose legally changed his name to Pete Violet then would he be able to get into the Hall of Fame since he bypassed the "Pete Rose is not allowed in the Hall of Fame" rule?

Dan Szymborski

12:14

I think the penalty is attached to the person not the name.

12:16

I'm no lawyer, but I'm quite certain that Ozzie Albies can't get out of his contract by saying "Haha, I'm Rick Albies now, suckers!" and then hit free agency while someone in the Braves organization throws their hat onto the ground and yells "tarnation!"

urgent please answer

12:16

could Ohtani throw a splitter so nasty that he himself could not hit it

Dan Szymborski

12:16

Yes

Hi Dan. Reynaldo Lopez went from one of the worst starters in MLB before the All-Star break to one of the best starters since the break. How much of this do you think is SSS noise, and how much the product of a meaningful adjustment by a talented young pitcher with a 97-mph (low-spin) fastball?

Dan Szymborski

12:16

I wouldn't pop the corks yet

12:17

He's pitched well, but it's still 3 games

Twins

12:17

Fangraphs odds give them a 7 in 9 chance of winning the division, although the lead is down to 2. Which team does Zips like better ROS? Would you take over or under on those division odds?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Indians by a hair. I think I'd take the over simply because of the risk the Indians trade Bauer

Ralph Rowdie

12:17

How odd is the Sogard acquisition? Do the Rays flip him?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

I don't think it's odd

Bill

12:18

Dan, I'm bored. Make my favorite team do something.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

You guys seem to overestimate by jurisdiction

Chris

12:18

Why are the dodgers bargain bin hunting?

Dan Szymborski

12:19

They already have the best record in baseball and an easy path to the division title, so they're not feeling much pressure. It' snot like the things available are generally *great*

12:20

So there's diminished marginal returns. You didn't see Mozart running around trying to eat the brains of Dittersdorf or Kraus in an attempt to get stronger.

12:20

Do you remember when Darnell Coles threw a ball out of Tiger Stadium? That's what Bauer made me think of yesterday.

Craig

12:20

Do you anticipate Brendon Rodgers to be ready for opening day in COL? Will he start the season in the Majors?

Dan Szymborski

12:20

I think he'll be ready. Whether he starts the season in the majors depends on whether the Rockies find a worse idea that they're excited about or not.

Matty

12:21

Who do the Brewers add by Wednesday? I've set the under at 2.5 pitchers and lean over.
