He'll be worse but I still expect he's an above-average starter. He's got a track record of turning lineups over a couple times and holding his stuff for 4-5 innings

Profar seems like a good fit for the Astros with the loss of Diaz. 2 year deal around $16M get it done of price going to be higher?
Anthony Franco
5:04
Over if you mean 2/16 total. Under if you mean two years at $16MM per season

Anthony, thanks for this all year and the happiest of holidays to you.  Does the CBT apply to the 26 man roster or the 40?
Anthony Franco
5:04
40

Aside from Arizona and Miami, what team(s) match up the best with the Reds as far as trading SS prospect for an outfield prospect??
Anthony Franco
5:06
Hmm, Milwaukee maybe, although that's tougher to pull off in division. Seattle has a few outfielders who were once top prospects but haven't really hit their strides yet, could appeal to a team like Cincinnati with less urgency to compete
Obviously Brewers wouldn't replace Adames with any minor leaguer they acquire. But that player could factor in at third or second while adding another potential long-term option if they move Adames later into his arb seasons
Dbacks
5:07
Why would they want Gurriel? He’s only controllable for 1 more year?
Anthony Franco
5:08
Adds some right-handed balance to the lineup, takes a bit of money off Toronto's books. Obviously Moreno is the big get

Does this move put Jays under the tax again?
Anthony Franco
5:08
Roster Resource has them right at the tax line now

Does Kyle Harrison make the Giants out of Spring Training? Or,when do you see him coming up?
Anthony Franco
5:08
May or June

Where do I turn for a left fielder now that Conforto is off the table? Do I look for a trade or just throw Bubba back out there and hope for the best?
Anthony Franco
5:08
(Rangers)
5:09
Still expect they're going outside the organization. Profar's out there, could go for a veteran stopgap like David Peralta
Donovan Solano
5:10
Where am I going?
Anthony Franco
5:10
Oddly specific haha. Haven't given this much thought admittedly, Pittsburgh?
Adell
5:11
I am getting buried now on the depth chart.  Will I finally be moved or will I get another chance with the Angels
Anthony Franco
5:11
Kinda think he's getting traded this winter. Not really a great fit as a fourth outfielder
Guess this works in response to the Reds question earlier about dealing from their infield depth for a young outfielder
Othani
5:12
There are so many rumors about me moving that I don’t know what to believe. What do you think will happen
Anthony Franco
5:12
He's not getting traded this offseason. They'll reevaluate at the deadline

Adolis Garcia and George Springer seem to have similar tools: moderate power, moderate speed, moderate BA. In other words, second-tier 5-tool players. Who's the better bet for 2023?
Anthony Franco
5:13
I like Springer more on talent but think Adolis is likelier to stay healthy all year. I'd lean towards betting on talent and going with Springer, but it's an interesting call

4:33What does the Bauer ruling mean for the Dodgers' payroll situation?
Anthony Franco4:39Hmm, interesting question. Whether Babe Ruth called his shot?4:40Is the Jeffrey Maier game controversial? I honestly don't know if Yankees fans' consensus opinion is that should've been a home run
Anthony Franco
5:14
Was there? Sorry, it showed up for me. Internet connectivity issues
If you DM me on Twitter I can screenshot you the questions that were in between
Yuletide
5:15
Merry Christmas!  How will you be spending the holiday?
Anthony Franco
5:16
Low key weekend with family. Typically celebrate with my mom's side on Christmas Eve and then with my dad's side on Christmas day. We're kind of snowed in for the next couple days in Buffalo but hopeful it'll be cleared up by Sunday
5:17
Thanks for all the questions this week. Appreciate all of you who sent in holiday wishes! Hope you all have a great holiday weekend of your own if you celebrate!
5:18
