Have you ever been to a Pret a Manger? Something about those places makes me depressed
AvatarJay Jaffe

Despite my extreme wariness of premade sandwiches, I kind of like Pret but haven't been to one since the SI headquarters moved from the old Time Life building in midtown.

If an expansion draft were held this winter, who would be the first pick? Same rules as in the 90s.

Mike Trout. Seriously, anybody opining on this would have to invest hours to think about who would even be unprotected under such circumstances

How many top 25 prospects do you think get traded this month and for whom?
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:38
Probably not all 25! Probably at least one in a Machado trade, probably more than one if deGrom/Syndergaard are moved.

Will Mookie ever regress?
AvatarJay Jaffe

I have August 3 as the date circled in my calendar for him to begin regressing. You'll have to ask my secretary who booked that date.

Tyson Ross worth anything on the trade market?
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:41
Given the weak market for SP, yes if healthy, but I don't like the look of his last 2 outings (15 runs, 4 HR, 7 IP)

Hi Jay - curious as to your thoughts on Matt Manning, Daz Cameron and Isaac Paredes
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:42
Beyond knowing that Daz Cameron is the son of former MLBer Mike Cameron and not former FGer Dave Cameron, my thoughts are tht you're much better off asking Kiley and Eric about them

If the Dodgers trade for Machado, who is the odd man out in the outfield?  This would mean Taylor would
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:45
Puig is on the DL for an oblique strain. I don't think it's out of the question that they trade Joc Pederson somewhere now that he's recovered some of his value, or maybe Andrew Toles.

Honestly, though? Taylor is good enough on both sides of the ball as SS, and Machado's metrics are bad enough at the position that I really don't think this is an avenue the Dodgers need to pursue
Outta my way, Gyorkass

Brewers: Complete a 3 of 4 series win over a fellow NL contender in the Braves, then lose 2 of 3 to the Marlins? What the hell, baseball?

That might be the greatest chat handle I've seen here since joining FG. And yeah, that's baseball.
