"I want $50,000 for my Camry!" "No, that's too much." "OK, how about $5,000?" "Done."

Dan you don't like ketchup? Ketchup is the one true condiment all other condiments aspire to be ketchup! I'm not sure we can be friends anymore!!

Dan Szymborski

12:31

We cannot be.

Also, it was Pete Rose not Pete Violet who got all those hits

Does Justin Smoak get traded?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I'm thinking no

Jon

12:32

If I made a basic spreadsheet that allowed you to enter a player and see their surplus value relative to their contract in terms of $/WAR would that be worth submitting to Fangraphs to publish? Has this been done already?

Dan Szymborski

12:32

I'd wait and see all the stuff that's coming with the Roster Resource transition!

Twins schedule vs Indians schedule isn't close. Twins win going away.

Dan Szymborski

12:33

I haven't checked in a few days, but last I did, ZiPS had the Indians schedule like 30 points harder than the Twins

12:34

Something like 70% of their games (as of a few days ago) were against teams at .500 or below

Adam

12:34

When the Tigers or Blue Jays ask for Gleyber Torres in a trade, is it because they think there’s even a 1% chance the Yankees say yes, or so their actual ask (Garcia, Andujar, etc) seems reasonable? If the latter, does this ever actually work?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I don't think they actually ask like this

Chris

12:34

Dipoto will make _____ number of trades this deadline (he's at 1 or 3 depending how you look at it)

Dan Szymborski

12:34

∞

LFC Mike

12:35

If you had the power... what would be the one trade you would make for one team? Your very best idea that is reasonable in this market?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I just did a whole article on the subject!

Guest

12:35

that make the Tigers the most functional bad front office?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

I could get behind it

Rockies, Marlins, Royals, Mets,

12:36

Well at least KC got a ring out of it

Dan Szymborski

12:36

Mama June is a millionaire

Scherzer's Blue Eye

Orioles not dysfunctional? With Angelos at the helm?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

I'm waiting and seeing with their front office.

The Peter isn't really at the helm.

Scherzer's Blue Eye

12:37

Can you post more ridiculous Met fan propsals? I personally like Thor for Lindor or Correa.

Matt

The Bauer incident didn't actually have any impact on his perceived market value. Any team that had interest in him knew what they'd be getting, and this little outburst of frustration changed their priors in no way.

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Yeah, if bauer had beat up something that would be different.

12:38

The thing about Bauer is that despite the eye-rolling people have with him, his only crime really is kinda being a loudmouth that pisses people off. He's like the antagonist on a sitcom

Dan, whatever happened to Billy Blanks?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I assume he retired to a sugar plantation on his yoga kung fu stuff

Dbo

12:39

I'm starting to think the NL Central is the most mediocre division instead of the most competitive

Shark Tanker

Dan. Do I have an offer for you. Have you considered trashing the whole baseball thing and instead building cat beds that look like computers....you seem to have a few fans in your house. Imagine a TRS 80 cat bed with a scratching post.😻😻😻😻😻😻😺😺😺😺😺

Dan Szymborski

12:40

I'm nto sure on the revenue model for this.

12:41

For those with the good sense to not be on Twitter, this is referring to a picture of my youngest cat, who recently figured out that the top of big PC is the best place to sleep since I have a radiator at the top exhaust.

Gub Gub

Amazing. The Mets have "Wet Bandits"-ed their own house.

Juan Pursuit

12:42

Can you explain the Roster Resource thing?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Explain what in particular? It's awesome work by Jason Martinez who has joined FG

Dbo

12:42

Is it possible that the Mets got drunk and confused that they are not actually the Yankees and traded for Stroman, then waking up the next morning confused why they now have a new pitcher on their roster?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Yes
