The Phillies could move a reliever, but otherwise I think you keep the depth. And Hernandez isn't a bad regular

Who do you think is the favorite to sign Dallas Keuchel?
Jeff Sullivan

Whichever of the Nationals/Phillies doesn't end up with one of Harper/Machado
yanks offseason
10:56
Lets get weird.  Sanchez, Andujar, Gray for Tatis Jr., Mejia, Paddock + lower level prospect?
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
You'd be able to have some pretty lively conversations, and you might even make some progress, but the Padres obviously love their guys, and I bet it would end up spiked over a disagreement regarding the future of Andujar's defense
10:57
His value drops pretty quickly if he's not a third baseman

What hockey team do you root for now? And will you switch allegiance to the new Seattle team when they join the NHL?
Jeff Sullivan

The terrible Ottawa Senators, and no

Who else should the Tigers consider signing to a small deal that could possibly be flipped at the deadline?
Jeff Sullivan

Shelby Miller?

so the Phillies- if they don't get Harper/Machado- how much of a failure would this offseason be for them?  Especially if the Nats got Harper back and given what the Mets have done....

Would entirely depend on what else they'd do to compensate. Remember that neither of the teams that had Harper and Machado to begin last year made the playoffs. Baseball rosters are big, and there's more than one way to compete. The fans and media wouldn't let the Phillies hear the end of it, but they don't need one of the two guys to win in 2019. Can't go into an offseason with that kind of tunnel vision

Okay, I should get rolling, since I think Kiley is about to begin a chat of his own!
So thank you everybody for hanging out, and I'm sorry for what I didn't or couldn't address. We'll do it again next week at the same time, and until then, be well and have great days
