Obviously there are plenty of people who wanted them to make a change from La Russa before the past couple weeks. Doesn't feel like he's in danger of losing his job given his close personal ties to Reinsdorf though. I expect him to be back if he's healthy enough to do it
Seattle
6:37
Who do you see seattle going after in the off season to be a big back, doubt it happens but jp to second and trea turner for shortstop
Anthony Franco
6:38
Yeah I'd be surprised if they go to that level but I think they'll at least be on the periphery of the shortstop market this winter. Second base is really the only area they probably have to address from the outside, although keeping Haniger would be ideal
6:40
They're a decent fit for Swanson if he doesn't re-sign with Atlanta (although I expect he will). If they don't want to make a huge long-term commitment, a Brandon Drury type fits

Per Fangraphs, Aaron Judge and Trea Turner have generated the first and second most WAR in baseball since 2019. Everyone is talking about Judge breaking 300M. What's it going to take to sign Turner this offseason?
Anthony Franco
6:41
Right now I'd probably have him at eight years and like $260-280MM
Rox fan
6:41
With the emergence of Toglia and Montero, should the Rockies trade Cron this winter?  What would the return for Cron look like?
Anthony Franco
6:42
They could get a couple mid-tier prospects but nothing astronomical. Christian Walker/Rhys Hoskins could also be available in trade and are similar players coming off better seasons
6:43
I doubt there'll be enough interest the Rox decide it's not better to just keep Cron around
Trea Turner
6:43
No way I get less than Seager, right?
Anthony Franco
6:44
Turner should beat him on an annual basis because he's a better player, but Seager got 10 years and I doubt Trea gets heading into his age-30 season
6:45
Alright that's all I've got time for tonight. Dodgers DFA'd Heath Hembree a few minutes ago so I have to get that up on the site
Thanks for all the questions tonight, apologies for the stuff I couldn't address
6:46
I'm on Twitter @affranco10 if you want to throw anything at me on there
I also run weekly chats exclusive to Front Office members on Friday afternoons. The queues are way smaller and I can address the vast majority (sometimes all) of the questions there
6:47
A FO membership also gets you weekly analysis articles from Steve and myself. I looked at José Abreu's upcoming free agency for that yesterday. You also get fantasy-themed content/strategy advice from Brad
6:48
If that's of interest to anyone, you can find a link to our memberships here
Have a good week everyone!
