I'll go with Rutschman
Armchair GM

If you could take the best remaining free agents, and make a team out of them, would they be better than the Oakland A's?
Anthony Franco
6:55
Don't think so. Like the A's rotation more than what you could patch together via free agency at this point
6:56
Free agent team would have a really good bullpen and some power at first base/DH but not much else
Reynolds
6:56
A writer for Pittsburgh just suggested Reynolds for Carter, White, Leiter and Taveras.

Way more than I'd give up if I were Texas
Boras Corp
6:56
There's no way Julio Urias re-signs in LA. He'll be a 26 year old lefty free agent, feels disrespected by the organization, and has Boras as his agent. How many years will his next deal be for?
Anthony Franco

I looked at this for Front Office subscribers a few months ago. Guessed it'd be around 9/215 -- 8/200 in new money -- if he just wanted to max out the guarantee. Trickier to predict if he wants an opt-out in there
6:59
I'd probably take the over on that at this point since that was before free agent prices exploded at the top of the market

Which teams do you think have improved the most so far this offseason?
Anthony Franco
7:02
Texas is the big one. Phillies, Angels did a lot, Rodón is big for the Yankees
Why Not?
7:02
Chargers or Jaguars?
Anthony Franco

Obligated to take the Jags as a Raider fan
7:03
That's all I've got time for tonight, have to take the feed over from Darragh
Thanks for all the questions! Sorry for all the stuff I couldn't get to
7:04
I'm on Twitter @affranco10 and try to get back to people within a day or two on there if you want to throw any questions at me
I also do a weekly chat exclusive for Front Office subscribers. Those are typically on Fridays but this week's might be tomorrow, since we're expecting a lot of activity Friday afternoon with the deadline to exchange arbitration figures
7:06
Memberships also come with weekly posts from Steve and myself. Took a look at where I think things have gone wrong for Germán Márquez on Monday
You can find out more about those at that link if you're interested
Have a good night!
