And the Pirates know that

Do you think the Jays should trade Marcus Stroman? The farm system lacks depth, surely he'd bring back a decent prospect haul.
Jeff Sullivan
10:51
I don't think the Blue Jays are in a position where they need to subtract long-term assets
Kirk

I feel like my odds of getting eaten by a bear are higher than the Mariners odds at making the playoffs in my life again
Jeff Sullivan
10:51
Well one of those things is at least partially up to you

Is Jeter really making day to day decisions in Miami?  Playing SS for the Yankees doesn't remotely qualify him to be negotiating against statheads and MBAs.
Jeff Sullivan
10:52
Yeah, Jeter does seem to be the point person

Why is Gerrit Cole being treated like an ace? His elbow is a ticking time bomb, he gives up a lot of homers, and cant throw his fastball as much anymore bc of fear of TJ.
Jeff Sullivan
10:52
He has a career FIP- of 83 and he throws 96 miles per hour
10:53
79% of the community thought Cole was an ace two years ago https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-you-defined-an-ace/
Since then he's gotten only a little bit worse

If someone offered you $100K to pitch in the NPB for a full year at your current skill level would you accept
Jeff Sullivan
10:54
No
But I would accept a longer-term investment that allowed my strength to be built up first
I like to pitch but my arm is in no shape to do it over and over

So, is Scioscia gonna ruin all of the moves the front office has made by continually running out Pujols in the 4-hole?
Jeff Sullivan
10:55
Don't count on it
Joe

Would you trade Frazier and Adams for cole?
Jeff Sullivan
10:55
Yes
Pretty Tony

The Tigers should definitely be open to trading Fulmer for a haul right? A guy with injury history who has sky-high value right now seems like a good candidate, especially when your farm system has way more impact arms on the way than bats.
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
No one the Tigers shouldn't be open to moving
Their return to contention is a long, long way off
Bill

As a Cardinals fan I'll gladly trade with the Mariners or Mets. Front office is a dumpster fire.
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
Good god
You don't know what you have
All right, I need to get rolling
10:57
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...in several weeks! And until then, be well and have great days
