Seems like it could be change-of-scenery time for Mazara
Chaim Bloom
6:18
Should I trade Mookie this offseason?
Connor Byrne
6:19
(Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom) - Depends on what the goals for next season are. If Boston's bent on getting back to a championship level, it should probably keep Betts. Otherwise, given that he won't sign an extension, listening to offers for Bets would make sense
*Betts

Do the Dodgers have competition in their division this coming season?
Connor Byrne
6:19
No, not really
Bill

Could Buck Showalter be the mystery Met manager candidate?
Connor Byrne
6:20
Buck has already openly expressed interest in the job. I don't think he's the reported "bombshell" candidate.
Braden

Angels want to get trout in the playoffs. Lindor is supposedly available. Jo Adell and who for lindor to LA
Connor Byrne
6:20
Angels aren't trading Adell
Steve
6:20
Minor, Odor and Guzman, For Hoskins, Hernandez and Pivetta  Who says no and why
Connor Byrne
6:21
The Phillies because Hoskins, between performance and control, is the most valuable player in the package
Larry Rothschild
6:21
Chances I have a job again by Thanksgiving? Across town maybe?
Connor Byrne
6:22
He should. I was surprised the Yankees canned Rothschild, their longtime pitching coach, as if it was his fault they dealt w/ one injury after another this season. The Phillies are logical fits now that Girardi's their manager.
Ross
6:22
Do Vogt and Sogard make sense for the A’s? They will be easily affordable and nice platoon players at 2B with Profar and C with Murphy.
Connor Byrne
6:22
I don't mind either of those fits at all

What kind of Contracts can Weiters and Castro expect?
Connor Byrne
6:23
Not much for Matt Wieters. Jason Castro's good enough for a 2-yr deal in the low double digits.
Randy
6:23
Will the Reds resign Alex Wood? with the rotation of Baur, Disco, Gray, Gausman, and Mahle not completely sold on Mahle he's to inconsistent do the Reds go after Tanner Roark?
Connor Byrne
6:24
I haven't heard/read anything suggesting Wood will stay with the Reds. They really only need a back-end starter; if they can get him for cheap enough, it would make sense. However, I could see some team giving him 5-10MM, which could be out of the Reds' range considering their other needs.
S
6:25
Lindor is available? If that’s true the Indians are nuts
Connor Byrne
6:25
I don't think it's nuts. He has two years' control left, is getting more expensive and won't be signing an extension.
That said, you can't call him "available" at this point. Just speculation at the moment.
PLEASE PICK ME!

WHERE IS JOSE ABREU GOING THIS OFF-SEASON?
Connor Byrne
6:27
The White Sox still seem like the favorites. Check out this piece on Abreu from MLBTR great Mark Polishuk: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/10/free-agent-stock-watch-jose-abr...

Area code in Queens is 718.

Do you think Jose Ramirez will become available via trade?
Connor Byrne
6:27
Nope
WillReuter88
6:28
Will Chris Davis decline even more with the Orioles throughout his 7 year contract?
Connor Byrne
6:28
Kind of hard to bet on any kind of bounce-back at this point. At some point, the O's are going to have to cut the cord.
Mr baseball
6:28
Lindor to the reds
Connor Byrne
6:29
Not a bad fit if the Reds can put together the right package to get him
clubber lang
6:29
Who do you think has been the best Manager hire to this point?
Connor Byrne
6:29
I like Girardi a lot, so that's my pick
Nelson
6:29
Does Justin Upton have any trade value?
Connor Byrne
6:29
Not much (if any) after the season he just had
Bryan
6:29
What is the chance M. Ozuna signs with Brewers or Cubs?
Connor Byrne
6:30
I'm not enamored of either fit
Nate
6:30
Who do you want the next 10 yrs... Tatis jr or vlad?
