Connor Byrne
4:59
Yes, he is. He's a solid mid-rotation type.
Paul DewGong
4:59
What does 1 year of Trevor Bauer bounty hunter, playoff ace for hire, cost?
Connor Byrne
4:59
40 to 45 mill
Unfortunate Mets Fan
5:00
Who are the Mets more likely to get: Bauer, Realmuto or neither?
Connor Byrne
5:00
Realmuto
Office of the General Manager
5:00
Where do you see Francisco Lindor playing in 2021?
Connor Byrne
5:01
not the Indians. The Yankees will jump toward the top of the list if they lose LeMahieu and don't sign a middle infielder.
Mike
5:02
Do the Dodgers re-sign Turner or do they go free agent/trade (Lindor, Arenado) or give Rios his shot?
Connor Byrne
5:03
I think Turner's gone. The Nats and Braves look like good fits for him. LAD doesn't really need to do anything, but they're always in on the big guys, so I'd expect them to be involved in a Lindor/Arenado chase if one or both of those exist.
Appa Yip Yip
5:03
What kind of deal does Taijuan Walker get? He's still young, but he massively outperformed his FIP.
Connor Byrne
5:04
I also don't find Walker that exciting. I believe MLBTR has him around 2/16 right now.
redsfan
5:04
Could the Reds target Springer, Seimen or Gregarious or Realmuto to help the offense?
Connor Byrne
5:05
Yes to Semien and Didi. The others should be out of their range.
Pitching in Cincy
5:06
How do you think the Reds will try to replace Bauer in the rotation? Their internal options are limited unless they rush Lodolo, so trade or free agency has got to be the answer. But who? Personally, I think they'll try to pry Lynn from the Rangers.
Connor Byrne
5:07
Speaking of the Reds, yes to the Lynn idea (but he should draw a lot of interest). But there are tons of mid- to low-level FA starters out there, so it's pretty difficult to say.
Squid
5:07
Who says no to a Bieber for Gleyber trade?
Connor Byrne
5:08
Bieber's an MVP candidate and a surefire Cy Young winner. There's your answer.
Taylor Made
5:09
Where do you see Michael A. Taylor landing?
Connor Byrne
5:10
Haven't given it much thought, but as a CF-capable player, Taylor's a free agent at the right time. CF is pretty empty in free agency after Springer and Bradley.
The Cashman
5:11
Any chance we try to shake things up maybe a deal involving Anthony Rizzo for Luke Voit...
Connor Byrne
5:12
I don't see how that would make sense for the Yankees
Tyler
5:12
Best closer available this off-season?
Connor Byrne
5:12
Liam Hendriks
by far
David Forst
5:12
If we (the A's) lose Semien do you think Simmons would a good contingency option. The defense with Simmons and the Matt's would be legendary!!
Connor Byrne
5:13
On paper, yes, but I don't see the A's spending that much on a shortstop either way (at least not per annum). We've considered Ha-Seong Kim for them
Pad Squad
5:14
What kind of deals can Trevor Rosenthal and Kirby Yates expect?
Connor Byrne
5:15
I don't want to spoil things, but we're bullish on Rosenthal. Yates should have a wide range of suitors on a short-term deal.
We Can Rebuild Him
5:16
Should the Cubs go after a premier free agent this off-season or start the rebuild now?
Connor Byrne
5:17
I don't think they'll start rebuilding, but some sort of offensive shakeup at least seems likely. Guys like Bryant and Schwarber could be traded, and they'll have to make a decision on the back end of their rotation with the possibility of losing Lester.
Pablo
5:18
Theo sells the farm for one last shot then bolts?!?
Connor Byrne
5:18
Doesn't seem like something he'd do
Stubby66
5:19
Do you think that Wil Myers at first and trade for Moran for third be enough to help Milwaukee offensive woes to turn around?
Connor Byrne
5:20
Why are the Padres trading Myers, though? He was one of the best players in the NL this year (I never expected to say that)
Guest
5:21
Does Colome get big time closer money (relative to the market)?
Connor Byrne
5:21
MLBTR hasn't discussed him at length, but we're not that high on him
in the brief Colome talks we have had
Renalrickets
5:23
How long do you see Springer being a viable center fielder?
Connor Byrne
5:23
Probably another couple of years
Off Season
5:24
Spending will be down 25 to 50%?
