Rodon Right On

The Yankees need to trade either IKF or Donaldson to free up a roster spot and some cash so they can make mid year moves and stay below the Cohen line.  I think Donaldson makes more sense cause then DJLM can be solely a corner guy and not have as much range issues with his foot. What teams need a third baseman enough to take Donaldson for 10 Mil in a salary dump?
Anthony Franco
5:13
I think if anyone were willing to take Donaldson at 1/$10MM, that'd be done already
Bo Bichette

How much should the fans read into the fact that I'm heading into arbitration with such a big difference in money should they assume I'll be traded or not resigned/extended
Anthony Franco
5:14
Not at all
Paul

I read that the Angels we’re looking at the catcher Sanchez  Does that make sense
Anthony Franco
5:14
Only if they trade Stassi first probably
Jurickson profar
5:14
Do I make sense for the Dodgers
Anthony Franco
5:15
Think they'd rather just give James Outman or Miguel Vargas a shot out there

What’s your assessment of the Tigers 3b situation- do they have a capable starter there? And do you think they need another inning eater like wacha while they wait for better SP health?
Anthony Franco
5:16
Boyd/Lorenzen seem like fine rotation pickups. I don't think any of Maton, Kreidler or Nevin is a long-term answer at third base, no
Maybe it doesn't matter to them for now because the team won't be good this year anyways and they want to at least give Maton or Kreidler a shot to prove otherwise, but I expect it'll be a bigger concern next offseason
Rangers13

The Rangers like older wiser BP people to help the kids in the BP, so what do you think the cost for W.Smith would be?
Anthony Franco
5:17
He should get two years in my opinion. $12MM range total?
Madag

How would you set up that Astros starting rotation for next year?
Anthony Franco
5:18
Framber, Javier, McCullers, Garcia, Urquidy for now. Hunter Brown the first guy in after an injury

What are your expectations on Dustin May for this season?
Anthony Franco
5:18
Upper mid-rotation production, like him a lot

Is Chad Kuhl still a free agent? I have heard nothing about him
Anthony Franco
5:19
He is, yeah. Might just get a minor league deal. Terrible second half
Around the Horn

Why on earth would KC sign Chapman - regardless of if Barlow is going to be traded, he does zero for team growth. And they say they can’t pay singer or extend other players?
Anthony Franco
5:19
They could use some left-handed relief help and there's a path to him pitching well enough to return a decent prospect at the deadline, I guess
5:20
I wouldn't have been super motivated to add him personally, but they're clearly of the opinion he'll fit in the clubhouse

NY Yankees Roster spots - LF and SS. Who do you think is the opening day starters?
Jack

Do you think that the Yankees left-field situation will ultimately come down to Hicks and Cabrera?
Anthony Franco
5:21
Peraza at shortstop. Guess there's enough smoke about them not wanting to spend anymore I finally buy they'll let Cabrera and Hicks battle it out for LF

Do you see the Correa Situation leading to more MLB contracts structured with guaranteed vs non-guaranteed money like the NFL or NBA?
Anthony Franco
5:22
No, I just think Correa was a unique case after failing two physicals
Alright that's all I have time for today. Tried to run through a bunch quickly at the end but didn't get to everything. If you want to throw anything else at me on Twitter, I'll get back to you there
5:23
Marlins said they're playing Arraez at second base and Jazz in center field, which is interesting. Going to get that up on the site
Thanks for all your support, hope you all have a great weekend!
We'll do this again next week
