Citi Field thoughts?
Meg Rowley
2:47
Have never been, which is very weird, considering I lived in Queens.

What was your initial take on the Cano trade? Were you expecting it to be the tremendous success for Seattle that it has been to this point?
Meg Rowley
2:49
I was glad to see them make a decision about the course of the franchise, impressed they moved Canó's contract, sad to see Díaz go, and excited about Kelenic.
Also, yeesh, imagine how much worse that looks for the Mets if they include Jeff McNeil
Matt

Is there a revenue stream from Vegas to MLB and/or teams as a part of the gambling deal made?
Meg Rowley
2:50
Still don't think we know exact financial terms but: https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/25393195/major-league-baseball-p...

I get that there are extenuating circumstances, but the Astros interviewing 9 people for manager...seems like a lot?
Meg Rowley
2:51
I would imagine they are being very thorough and wouldn't you be?
My name is Judge...
2:51
where are you best guesses for expansion?  montreal?  portland?  charlotte?  nashville?  san antonio?
Meg Rowley
2:52
Montreal, Portland, Charlotte seem like the trio most likely to me, and Portland already has an interested ownership group
Sam
2:53
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Kelenic put into the trade in place of McNeil? As a Mets fan, I would much rather have given up McNeil than Kelenic.
Meg Rowley
2:53
the scuttlebutt was both were going, the Mets floated it publicly to see the response, and then scrapped McNeil
Robert
2:54
Ever go to Safeco TMobile for a game alone? Any tips for making it fun? Thinking of going for opening day
Meg Rowley
2:54
Very often, but I like going to games alone. Don't feel like you have to be glued to your seat. You're going to miss some action but it's ok.
Jeff
2:55
Trade thought - who says no?  Braves receive Nick Stenzel, Reds receive Kyle Wright & Johan Caramgo
Meg Rowley
2:55
The Reds, I'd think
Brood550
2:56
With the extra rest from TJ surgery what kind of inning count are you expecting out of Kopech?
Meg Rowley
2:57
90-100, but I think they will be very, very careful
Chris
2:57
Whyd the reds dfa Siri?
Meg Rowley
2:57
to facilitate bad jokes?
5 Run Homer
2:58
Do you think MLB should introduce a salary floor? The Pirates' payroll is under the NHL's salary floor, which is just silly
Meg Rowley
2:58
Have a floor, raise the minimum salary... you'll find the list of things I'm willing to entertain to get players paid more earlier is pretty long.
Charlie
2:59
If the Jays maintain relative health, since they now have SP depth (7-9 warm bodies), does Nate Pearson break in as a reliever?
Meg Rowley
3:00
I don't think so, no... All due respect to Matt Shoemaker, but no.
Pessimistic Cubs Fan
3:00
Can you say something to make me look forward to watching the Cubs next year?
Meg Rowley
3:01
You familiar with this Javier Báez character? Oh baby. And Kris Bryant? I bet he ends up sticking around. You know about him?
Players are always, always, always the answer here.
3:02
There's always at least one. Maybe he's in Double-A. But there's always at least one.
Ok pals, I need to get rolling. Thank you for all the great questions, and sorry fo what I didn't get to.
3:03
Hope you all have a good week, and stay well clear of this cold, it is... gnarly.
