I think they do add a starting pitcher.

On a scale of 1-10, Sergio Romo moves the needle how many spots?

Dan Szymborski

12:21

Let's put it this way: the new Ryzen CPUs use a 7nm process.

A. S. Maness

12:22

I'm a big Dan fan!

Dan Szymborski

12:22

Maness is my official historian.

When do you expect SD and ATL to start trimming down Paddack and Soroka's IP?

Dan Szymborski

12:23

The Padres have been careful with Paddack. Even without changing things up, I don't think Paddack goes much beyond 130 innings

12:23

Think Bauer is actually on the block?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

I suspect he's sort of on. If the Indians get blown over, yes, but I don't think you can get Bauer for pennies on the dollar, no matter what shenanigans he's up to

Joe

Top 5 most dysfunctional franchises?

Dan Szymborski

12:24

Rockies, Marlins, Royals, Mets, Angels

12:25

In no particular order

12:25

So Marcus Stroman to the Mets, WTF? Jaffe's piece on it for the site seems to suggest that they may have been doing it to take a piece off the market to amp up the return for Syndergaard/Wheeler - is that plausible? Is this just an agent overthinking it in his new GM role? Where do you see Syndergaard or Wheeler actually being able to land if they want to deal them?

Dan Szymborski

12:25

I think it's overthinking

Taco Cat is Taco Cat spelled backwards.

12:26

I'm sure many fan bases are asking why their GM didn't outdo the Mets' package for Stroman, but surely the Braves could have really used him and his high GB%.

Dan Szymborski

12:26

Stroman and the Mets defense is amusing

Andrew

12:27

From a Jays perspective, can you give me some positives from Kay and Woods Richardson? I need some cheering up. Thank you.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

SWR has good upside. The Jays should be taking riskier young players in their position. It's much better than the weird JA Happ return

Syndergaard and Diaz for Lux, May and Ruiz Who says no?

Dan Szymborski

12:28

Dodgers

If the Dodgers had an itnerest in doing trades like this, they already would have

CamdenWarehouse

12:28

Why would you post a reminder of 30-3, Dan? I don't come to your chats for pain.

Dan Szymborski

12:28

You should.

Sean

12:28

David Peralta is a difference maker offensively?

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Well, if he has a chalkboard and some chalk, he can write some subtraction problems

12:29

The fact that mayo-chup is now an actual marketed thing you can buy makes me sad for our future.

Dan Szymborski

12:29

Anything that touches garbage is garbage

LFC Mike

12:29

Does Trevor Bauer need to work on his launch angle for throwing a ball out of the field of play or has he maxed out?

Vladdy

12:29

Will Simeon Woods Richardson be on fangraphs top 100 prospects at the end of the season?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

Should ask Eric or Kiley, who do chats on Friday and Wednesday respectively!

Daniel

12:30

Does Stroman's return set the market for Thor and Wheeler?

Dan Szymborski

12:30

I don't think so because I don't think th emarket actually goes this way

Stroman's package was light, but nto *that* light. Teams don't give away prospects easily anymore.

12:31

Things like Torres-Chapman need *very* specific things to be happening.

mets fan

12:31

How likely is it that Diaz gets traded?

Dan Szymborski

12:31

Not very

Roman Numeral Three

12:31

Reports had the Jays asking the Yanks for Torres and Deivi in Stroman trade talks. Then they ended up agreeing to the Mets deal. How the heck did the Jays go from point A to point B in this process?
