If anything Jeff Sullivan is in precipitous decline

If you could force Melnyk to sell the Senators, but the only people who could buy them are the Wilpons, would you do it?
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
My first inclination was to tell you to go away but then I realized hockey payrolls are much lower than baseball payrolls. Bring on the Wilpons!

are the Dodgers looking more and more like the CBT is a very real thing to them and they aren't looking to go over that threshold any longer?
Jeff Sullivan
10:56
I think that's been made abundantly clear

We're 8-9 days away from position players reporting for most teams. Whats the over under and this point that Harper and Machado aren't signed by then? Maybe this years the Free Agent spring training camp can just make their own league or something.
Jeff Sullivan
10:57
J.D. Martinez signed on February 26 and he had a great season. Harper and Machado will both sign soon, but I don't think the start of camp is a firm deadline for either

DH would also help Cardinals with Jose Martinez, no?
Jeff Sullivan
10:58
Absolutely

I find the return for Realmuto very underwhelming. Sixto is fantastic, but has more injury risk than the average pitching prospect, and Alfaro has nothing resembling a sustainable major league approach at the plate. Am I wrong?
Jeff Sullivan
10:58
I don't think you're wrong. I also think it's more fair than underwhelming

What are the actual statistical odds of a reader of this chat, someone with zero FO experience and just loves analytics and FanGraphs, actually becomes a GM one day? > or < 1%?
Jeff Sullivan
10:59
Way under 1%. There are very very few MLB GM job opportunities
11:00
And so many people in front offices already want them
Grimace

Which team's offseason has disappointed you the most thus far?
Jeff Sullivan
11:01
Easy pick is the Pirates
11:02
They haven't done anything stupid. They just haven't done anything
And they were a winning team last season!

How much advance notice should NL teams get about instituting the universal DH?  Even a year out, 2020, seems unfair from a roster construction standpoint.
Jeff Sullivan
11:02
One year should be enough. Finding an extra hitter is easy
11:03
All right, I need to get rolling
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
