Hello, friends
1:03
I'm t - 17 hours before heading on a plane with seven kids -- I'm cool as ice
still gotta finish that whole 'packing' thing
but that's for later
Let's baseball!

If I offer Lombard Jr. for trade for Bazzana, is that enough or to do I need to add another piece?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:04
Honestly, I'd rather have Lombard
I don't think it's a bad swap, or anything, just would prefer him and wouldn't want to pay more than him for Bazzana

Does Smith get many saves in SF? What is their plan for next year with their closer situation?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:05
I wouldn't count on a ton. He's just too inconsistent, both in performance and control
1:06
He also has struggled vs RHHs and has his worst numbers in high-leverage situations
hard to trust him to win/keep the full job
RAGBRAI

Winn or Betts ROS?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:06
Betts
But it's hilarious that it's legitimate question
1:07
Do any of the prediction markets have anything on Betts retiring to join the PBA?
1:08
I want that content so bad
cool 1
Chased Burns
1:08
I just traded Burns and DeLauter for Chourio and Christian Scott. Got scared of an innings cap on Burns and figured if I could get a speed/power guy it would help. Did I overpay? Win? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:09
I do think it's an overpay on paper, but it's so heavily weighted on when Burns ends up getting capped
I get wanting to get rid of a hot potato
Trade question?
1:09
What do you think of my offering Logan Henderson for Walker Jenkins? My other keeper worthy SPs are Miz, Gilbert, Webb and McLean. My OF is Langford, Acuna and Pages with Kwan as a backup/use when hot guy.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:11
Yeah, I'd offer that. I do like Henderson, but your SPs are already strong and I'm usually looking to to turn excess pitching into a good young bat
Senga expectations?
1:11
I just snagged Senga since the Mets are pulling a Sasaki, using him in high leverage situations. What are your ROS expectations for him?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:12
I mean, it's not a bad dart, seeing Senga has been his best most recently out of relief
1:13
I would just be wary if the Mets inevitably keep putting him back into spot starts

Thanks for chatting Nicklaus! Rank these late-season stashes for '27 (cry) and beyond value: Mike Sirota, Zyhir Hope, James Tibbs, Jordan Westburg, Luis Pena, Emmet Sheehan
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
Hope then Sirota for sure
Then Westburg > Tibbs > Pena > Sheehan
It hurts me to quit on Sheehan
I'm sure I'll be back
Hector
1:15
As always, thank you very much for the chat. Two questions: 10 team AL only standard 5x5. How would you rank the following for this year and next year: A. Martinez, D Beavers, Meckler, Butler? Same question for Hicks, Ballesteros, Valencia?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:15
You're welcome!
1:16
Butler > Beavers > Martinez > Mecker
Hicks > Ballesteros > Valencia
Trade Q?
1:17
Would you do JJ Wetherholt for Max Clark in a keeper league? Yes this is a follow up as my OFs are Acuna, Langford and Pages with lean as
Nicklaus Gaut
1:17
How dare you make me pick someone over my sweet JJ?
but I'd rather have Clark
1:18
I just realized I forgot to answer the second part of "Giants'plan for closer in '27"
I'd favor Peguero
Let's see how he looks coming back
