What bid name may change teams next weekend?
Anthony Franco

Haven't given this enough thought for an off the cuff answer but I will probably spin this into my subscriber post next week or at least pass it to Steve for the mailbag, so thank you

What does an Adley Rutschman extension look like? 5/110?
Anthony Franco
4:28
Yeah this feels about right to me. It'd be pretty rich in the market context since spending on catchers comes in lower than at other positions but Bres clearly views him as one of the top 5-10 catchers in the game and they were really aggressive on the Crochet money after that trade

Because of all of the missed time will Konner still be eligible for ROY next year ?
Anthony Franco
4:29
No, he exceeded 150 ABs and still gets the full service year. Could still win them the PPI pick if he finishes top 3 in MVP voting in '27 or '28

Will Brandon Lowe get a QO?
Anthony Franco
4:31
Would've said yes a couple months ago, doubt it now with how he's played going back to June

What do the Giants have to do to right the ship for '27?
Anthony Franco
4:34
Man, this team needs so much work. New CF, starting catcher, two leverage relievers, a back-end starter, rebounds from their underperforming hitters on the huge contracts. Doesn't feel like a one-year fix

Exclusive to the MLBtraderumors chat....Davis Schneider recalled and Spencer Arrighetti activated from the IL....Josh Smith to the IL and Brendan Cellucci optioned to Buffalo

Heard it here from what I can only assume is the real Ross Atkins and not someone who follows the Blue Jays on X
4:35
We're past 90 minutes so I'm going to wrap up here and see how Darragh's looking on news
Thanks for all the questions! We truly appreciate all the support

Happy to take anything else on X @affranco10. Will try to get back to you on there over the weekend
Can always send any questions to Steve for the mailbag as well. We'll do this again next week
Have a good one!
