Heard nothing but good things on Harris from Cubs folks, but I don't know him personally. Kapler I think is a great hire, especially since they're likely to run some young rosters the next few years.

Great article on the Red Sox decision with Betts.   Would Gonsolin / Gray / Cartaya be enough for you to pull the trigger?
Keith Law
1:56
That's a good offer by value but if you don't think Gonsolin is a sure starter it probably doesn't meet the criteria I laid out.
1:57
I think he's a likely starter, not a certain one. Gray is a certain starter.
Jennifer

Toughest part of being divorced?
Keith Law
1:58
Not even close - days without my daughter. I doubt I will ever get used to that. Fortunately she's old enough that we text pretty regularly even if it's just for me to joke around with her and her to say "ok boomer" to me.

How does Spiritual Instinct stack up to Kodama in your opinion?
Keith Law
1:58
I have to listen to SI more but i think I liked Kodama a little better?

Is Chatham a good enough hitter to become the Red Sox regular 2nd baseman?
Keith Law
1:59
I don't think so.
Sean

do you think trent grisham can find 500 ABs for the brewers next year or will he be stuck in the OF4 role?
Keith Law
2:00
He's good enough to be a regular somewhere, although Milwaukee may want more certainty, and he'd be a really valuable trade piece because he's ready to play right now.
Eric

how enjoyable is it seeing every single hack gop talking point get destroyed in real time by every single witness?
Keith Law
2:00
It's so perfectly timed that someone needs to send the script back for rewrite.
Sean
2:01
with jhoan duran added to the 40 man so you think he gets a crack in the majors in 2020?
Keith Law
2:01
Yes, in some role.
Todd Boss

I know you hate Rule-5 but the Washington Natsmosphere is kind of surprised we didn't see a couple more names get protected yesterday; do you have opinion on Sterling Sharp in particular, or lesser candidates like Taylor Gushue, Mario Sanchez and Steven Fuentes?
Keith Law
2:01
I could see someone taking Sharp, not the others.
Congress
2:01
HEY LET'S ELIMINATE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL JOBS WHILE ALSO ALLOWING MINOR LEAGUERS TO BE PAID RIDICULOUSLY LOW WAGES!
Keith Law
2:01
Hundreds to thousands of minor league jobs? I mean, I know facility with math isn't a requirement for elected office, but jeez.
Matt
2:02
KLaw, when you were with Toronto, was there any truh to the rumors of the Jays positioning men in the outfield bleachers and signaling signs to the home team's hitters?  Do you think any other teams today go as far as Houston does to steal signs?
Keith Law
2:02
That rumor was after I left.

Trying to cook a deep fried turkey for the first time for Thanksgiving.  Have you done it and are you a fan?  Any recommendations for someone trying it for the first time?
Keith Law
2:02
Keep a large, functioning fire extinguisher nearby. Or roast it.
Larry
2:03
Have you ever heard of a band called Wintersun? If so, what do you think?
Keith Law
2:03
Songs are a bit long for my taste but I do like that style of metal.

Hi Keith, we've had three of the year's best films come out from Asian filmmakers. Knowing you liked "Parasite", did you see "The Farewell"? If not, I'd highly recommend that along with "Ms. Purple".
Keith Law
2:04
Not yet but it's on the list.
addoeh

Hosting Thanksgiving this year?  Doing the "traditional" chat while spatchcocking the turkey?
Keith Law
2:04
I'll do the Periscope while hacking up the bird, yes. My girlfriend is hosting and we'll split the cooking.

Can Dinelson Lamet last at the top or middle of an MLB rotation with a 4.0 BB/9? People knock him for it but he's posted a 1.25 WHIP and 11.7 k/9 in 2017 and 2019. Heck his xFIP this year was 3.44.
Keith Law
2:04
He doesn't have the third pitch he'll need to start.
Ciscoskid

Is the middle/lower class of baseball in the greatest risk with the upcoming labor negotiations? Between platooning/load management, it seems Stars are the only people destined to be everyday players. Makes me think MLB needs a pretty big 21st century overhaul and expecting that from MLB owners seems a bit much. Thoughts?
Keith Law
2:05
Yes, I think that's a real concern, and a good argument for the MLBPA to push for a much higher minimum salary.
Adam
2:05
Are the Padres and Red Sox each motivated enough to take on the “risk” of a Myers for Price swap?
Keith Law
2:05
Why on earth would Boston do that?
Rog
2:05
You interviewed for a job with the Astros, no? What do you think about this mess? Did you get any sense ownership was OK with skirting and/or breaking the rules?
Keith Law
2:05
I can't believe they forgot to ask me in the interview if I'd be willing and able to help them cheat.
Adam
2:06
The Padres are reportedly surrounding Jayce Tingler with two Showalter guys, Bobby Dickerson and Wayne Kirby. I’m assuming these moves were made to appease Manny Machado, but what are your thoughts on their coaching/development prowess?
Keith Law
2:06
Why would that appease Manny Machado? He wasn't a Buck fan.
