Depends on the offers that come in for him. There's a case the Reds can strike right now with no dominant team in the division. They've been losing for long enough.
Adam

Biggest surprise move/non-move this offseason?
Connor Byrne
6:47
Moustakas getting $64MM still surprises me.
Rest well, Kobe
6:47
Any chance the Yankees are actually in on Kris Bryant?
Connor Byrne
6:48
You never know. Urshela/Andujar don't look like the most trustworthy 3B combo at this point. Wouldn't hurt from NYY's perspective to at least ask.
AA
6:48
Have I made enough moves to be a legit contender?
Connor Byrne
6:49
The Braves will be good, GM Alex Anthopoulos, even though they got worse by losing JD in favor of Ozuna. Acuna could be a 10-WAR player this year, for all we know. That would make up for some of the team's deficiencies.

Will the Orioles sign another major league FA this offseason?
Connor Byrne
6:50
Probably a pitcher. There was a report over the weekend they could bring back Cashner.
Yankees Fan

Do you think andujar has any chance to start 2020 is the Yankees third baseman?
Connor Byrne
6:51
Sure, even though NYY wants him to learn 1B and LF. Urshela, who had pretty much no track record before last season, could flop in the spring.
Jc

Is the reason your down on the Mets chances the division they are in or is there another reason. Lineup check. SP check. BP could be the downfall again if I'm being honest but who knows how that turns out for any team? LOL
Connor Byrne
6:52
I actually like the team on paper, but everything seems to go wrong for them on an annual basis. Nevertheless, my expectation right now is high 80s in wins, which is pretty good.
Steve A
6:53
Should we start a gofundme account for the poor Rickets?
Connor Byrne
6:53
It's the right thing to do.
JP
6:53
Are Phillies done this offseason? Who plays 3B/cf?
Connor Byrne
6:54
Seems like Kingery and Haseley will be their season-opening picks there
Smile
6:54
Who gets into the Hall first, Bonds or Clemens?
Connor Byrne
6:54
They should already be in, but I'll say Clemens
competitive balance tax
6:55
Am I just an excuse or a real reason why MLB teams don't spend more money?
Connor Byrne
6:55
An excuse. The penalties aren't even that "bad" if you're a billionaire.
Farhan the gman
6:56
if we ate part of belts contract, could a trade work for Clint Frazier?
Connor Byrne
6:56
Maybe if they eat a ton of it, but why bother from NYY's POV? I'd rather just use some mix of Voit, Ford and Andujar at first. And would the Giants even want Frazier, who has struggled mightily in the outfield?
Kobe4MVP
6:57
What is/was your favorite Kobe memory?
Connor Byrne
6:58
I've just been a casual NBA fan since MJ hung it up, but will never forget watching Kobe drop 60 in his last game. What would the baseball equivalent of that be in your final game? Hitting four home runs? Pitching a no-hitter?
Nick
6:59
"Acuna could be a 10-WAR player this year" .... open to wagering?
Connor Byrne
6:59
I didn't say he would be, but he has that type of ability.
jeremy

Does Giles get traded at the deadline? or still think he can be traded before the season?
Connor Byrne
7:00
Depends on how good the Jays are. They're clearly trying to push their way back into contention. Giles probably would've been gone last deadline if healthy, though.
BhamBrave
7:01
Win prediction for the Marlins?I really like the moves they've made.
Connor Byrne
7:01
Off the top of my head, I think they won 57 last season. Put me down for 68.
Zaidi
7:02
What do I do now as far as the OF with Ozuna and Nick off the market?
Connor Byrne
7:02
I think a Pillar re-up would make sense. He was beloved in the locker room there.
(Zaidi = Giants pres Farhan Zaidi)
Billy
7:03
Should Andrew Cashner even get a big league deal?  If Neil Walker is settling for minors deals...
Connor Byrne
7:03
Don't know if he "should," but I think he will for a very low guarantee
Rox need a P
7:04
Has a team ever done less to address their flaws? Nothing, nada, zilch! Sell the team, Monfort!
Connor Byrne
7:04
That's why Nolan Arenado's unhappy.
Megan XO

Higher OPS - Marte in Chase, Castellanos in GABP
