Is Schwarber an AL only trade candidate?
Connor Byrne
6:52
No. He's not that bad of a fielder.
(not saying he's good, but if Castellanos can get NL interest for a lot more $ than Schwarber, then so can Kyle)
Artie
6:53
Who’s playing RF for the Angels?
Connor Byrne
6:53
Brian Goodwin until Jo Adell is ready
Lefty
6:55
Over/under for Castellanos - 4/88 ?
Connor Byrne
6:55
Way under
Giancarlo Stanton
6:55
If I win the MVP this year, do I opt out of my current deal?
Connor Byrne
6:55
No
S.H.
6:55
If you're GM: Should the Braves go after Marte in a trade and add another SP or keep waiting on JD?
Connor Byrne
6:56
I like the Marte idea, but which starter are they getting? Free agency's just about empty right now, and no team seems willing to give up a high-end SP
LoogyRIP

Is Al Avila going to build a contender in Detroit?
Connor Byrne
6:57
I'm not holding my breath
A Rose by any other name
6:57
Astros should stick two proverbial fingers up to MLB and hire Pete Rose as their next manager. That or Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street (for those who don’t know, he lives in a garbage can).
Connor Byrne
6:58
Or one of the Garbage Pail kids
Bill in Eppler
6:58
Should I try to get Archer?
Connor Byrne
6:58
If the price is right. Archer's a bounce-back candidate w/ connections to new LAA manager Joe Maddon from Tampa Bay.

What are the chances of Brandon Belt hitting 52 home runs this year?
Connor Byrne
6:59
Why stop at 52? Set the over/under at Barry Bonds' record.
Rick Hahn
7:00
How valuable is Nick Madrigal as the centerpiece of a trade? Highly touted, but zero power
Connor Byrne
7:01
What are the White Sox trading him for? I expect him to play a big role this season.
RedFan 13
7:01
how about Adell for Clevinger straight up who says no
Connor Byrne
7:02
I'm pretty sure the Angels have already said no, and if they haven't, they would
Brandon Crawford
7:03
Should the Yankees try to get me?  I do have a family connection.
Connor Byrne
7:03
No. Torres and LeMahieu > Crawford
Mark Polishuk
7:04
My friend Farhan is laughing a 52 homers for belt. But he wants to know the best reclamation project for the Giants. Smiley, Salazar or Buckholtz?
Connor Byrne
7:04
Mark Polishuk has an impersonator. What an honor for Mark. Give me Smyly from that group.
The Real Connor Byrne
7:06
Hey, identity theft is a crime
Connor Byrne
7:06
So do I!
Paul DePodesta
7:06
Should I get my resume ready for that Astros GM opening?
Connor Byrne
7:06
I think you're a little busy, Paul, though you're atop a different kind of dumpster fire right now (the Cleveland Browns)
MPrck
7:07
Hire D.D to clean out the Houston franchise, what say you ?
Connor Byrne
7:07
Not sure Dave Dombrowski's a great fit considering he's a big-spending type and the Astros seem to want to get under the luxury tax
Wally the green monster
7:08
Jbj to the giants? For salary dump
Connor Byrne
7:08
Wouldn't they have just kept Kevin Pillar if they wanted an expensive, light-hitting CFer on a one-year deal?
Guest
7:09
Who do you think the best GM in baseball is?
Connor Byrne
7:10
I had Luhnow up there until a couple hours ago. Some of these guys are presidents, not GMs, but Brian Cashman, Andrew Friedman, Mike Rizzo, Billy Beane are just a few who come to mind
Felix Hernandez
7:11
Where do I go. National or American league
Connor Byrne
7:12
You'll go wherever someone wants you, and there's no guarantee they will (at least not on anything better than a minors deal)
