Too bad they cut off when they did. Could've done a whole "Tyler Wade in the Water" bit...

YardGoat

9:34

Juan Soto will get a big deal

Dan Szymborski

9:34

He's awhile away though

9:35

5 yrs to FA and won't get more than Betts with cost-controlled years in there

Dodger Fan

9:35

Maybe it'll be the rockies giving Corey Kluber $500 million to start in left field

dave k

9:35

if he does it again Pete Alsono

Tony Wolfe

9:36

I might be more curious about how many of the current stars even get as close to free agency as Mookie did, with how popular extensions have gotten

Dan Szymborski

9:36

I'm a little concernerd about this commercial for "authentic" medication

Dodger Fan

9:36

Wander Franco?

JaAm

9:36

Gleyber? Probably a stretch but there is nothing obvious

Tom

9:36

Alonso is going to be closer to Goldschmidt than Betts due to his age.

Tony Wolfe

9:36

Obviously Lindor will, but

Guest

9:36

Judge is too old I suppose

Judge?

casual observer

9:37

alonso is simultaneously 25 years old and 40 years old

JaAm

9:37

It'll just be Trout probably

Dan Szymborski

9:37

Jeff Francoeur would have swung at that Fauci pitch.

Dakota mckee

9:37

Why didnt more teams put a pinch runner type on their expanded roster? Or did they do that and I just wasnt paying attention?

Dan Szymborski

9:37

A lot do have a guy like that around

Matt

9:37

that was awful I apologize

Smashing Claytons-"Zero (Rings)"

Dodger Fan

9:38

Terrance Gore is on the LAD roster

Dan Szymborski

9:38

Billy hamilton, though not brought on FOR that purpose

Guest

9:38

Andrew Stevenson is the Nats’ PR guy?

Dan Szymborski

9:38

Tyler Wade since I've been told he runs like a wide receiver

dave k

9:39

I've been wondering about this all day... what if someone hits 400 this year? are we gonna act like it counts? will they asterisk it in the record boooks?

Dan Szymborski

9:39

There won't be an official asterisk, but there'll always be one in our hearts

JaAm

9:39

Cliff Lee is still on the market for teams looking for a pinch runner

Dan Szymborski

9:39

BARTOLO PINCH RUNNER

Dodger Fan

9:39

I will personally be asterisking records, but probably not the WS champion

Tom

9:40

I wonder how much will a 39 year old Mike Trout fetch in 2031? (assuming MLB still exists)

Dan Szymborski

9:40

I mean, is being humble *really* what makes someone into a baseball player? Is that what you *really* think?

Dodger Fan

9:40

Everyone played with the same circumstances

dave k

9:40

well MLB will be making 25 billion a year so his 515m contract isnt as impressive

Smiling Politely

9:40

Dan I just logged into the chat and I've been reading through...that Mellon Collie and the Infinite Curveball image is amazing and heartbreaking, just like William Corgan, Jr.

Dan Szymborski

9:41

See, SOMEONE is amused by me and I swear that's not a burner question.

Guest

9:41

Was just thinking about how Chris Sale called Adam laroche's son a leader in their clubhouse

dave k

9:41

The championship ring is still gonna shine the same as a 162 season winner

Guest

9:41

the WS chmpion is always asterisked given the nature of playoffs. Why not just have no divisions, everyone plays everyone else six times (three home, three away)?

JaAm

9:41

New 2020 rule: courtesy runners for catchers
