Hello, friends

Congratulations to all still left standing

1:02

No time to waste

Let's baseball!

Do minor league players get a bonus for their team making the playoffs?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:02

Not for making them

1:03

I believe they just get their regular salary, prorated

but their are bonuses attached to winning championships

*there

1:04

and specific players can have different bonuses in their respective contracts

With keeper season upon us, what is your long term outlook on Troy Melton and Max Meyer? I kept them in a 14 team league. Hopefully they’ll make some big leaps like Sanchez and Misiorowski did for me this year.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:04

it's your classic floor v ceiling situation

1:05

can I like Melton but also think he's going to get overdrafted next year?

unless he's one of the rare few who can hold off the babip gods indefinitely

1:06

still think he's a low-end SP3/high-end 4

Love Meyer but his ceiling will go as his health/durability goes

1:07

shown the stuff to be an ace, but stil has to show he can pitch a full season and consistently go 6-7, instead of 5-6

but personally, I bet on yes

Does De Paula end up on the OD roster next year?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:08

yeah, I think so

but check back in three weeks lol

5x5 with OBP and QS instead of AVG/W, respectively. Would you bench Olson for Aranda? Semis end Sunday, but 3rd place gets their buy-in back so I'm playing next week no matter what.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:09

No, I'm staying with Olson

Will from Westport

Good afternoon Nicklaus, I'm in Detroit to watch the Tigers play (against the Rockies, they might have a chance!!), but cannot miss your chat. Again, thanks for doing them … how many more this season? Anyway, as you suggested last week, I dropped the hammer on Luis Robert, Jr., got him, and he immediately went on the IL. What do you think the Orioles' action will be regarding him in the off-season (presuming that there will be a '27 season)? Let him go, or re-sign him? Again, thanks.

Nicklaus Gaut

Hello!

thanks for joining from motor town

it's "town", right?

1:11

i swear the first thing I thought when seeing the news was "Will, no!"

It's a $20 mil option, right?

1:12

I'd say they probably decline and try to resign for cheaper

Slagathor

2nd question: Rank these CF-eligible players for next week: Edman, Langford, Marsee, McNeil, Martinez, Mesa Jr, Tawa. My team leans a little heavier on runs than RBI, but obviously anything can happen in a 1 week sample

Nicklaus Gaut

1:14

Langford >>> Marsee > Edman > McNeil > Martinez >>>Tawa >>> Mesa

All that Jazz

1:15

Hey! Need a replacement for Jazz in my AL Only OBP league. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) Can you pick a few favorites from Vic Mesa, Sogard, Leody Taveras, Eli White, John Peck, Akila Williams, Ben Malgeri? Steals would be nice, since that’s what I lost…)

Nicklaus Gaut

1:16

sorry delivery

Just a fantasy wrecking ball for Jazz guys

Our apologies

1:17

whoops, you were OBP

hold on

1:18

leody first

probably Peck 2nd

Connecting…
