Connor Byrne
6:30
Tatis, who plays the more important position and doesn't come with conditioning questions
Mark
6:30
Which right handed bat will the Rangers look for this offseason?
Connor Byrne
6:31
Josh Donaldson, perhaps
Dick williams
6:31
What would Dodgers want from me for Seager?
Connor Byrne
6:31
(Reds pres Dick Williams) - Enough that there's no way it's happening
Juiced Ball
6:32
Should the Jays explore Gerrit Cole?
Connor Byrne
6:32
Sure. Will they get him? Not without overpaying by a massive amount. Given the $ Cole's about to receive, that's saying a lot.

Will Gregorius get a QO?
Connor Byrne
6:33
In the Yankees' shoes, I'd probably pass on offering one. I asked this of you readers last week, and there's no obvious answer: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/10/mlbtr-poll-didi-gregorius-the-q...

What team is the best fit for Lindor?
Connor Byrne
6:34
Speaking of Yankees shortstops ... I think they make a lot of sense. Could keep Torres at 2B and continue to move LeMahieu around the INF.
Dave
6:34
Will we put Joc Pederson back  on the market after the season he had?
Connor Byrne
6:34
Wouldn't surprise me at all. Joc's only got one year of control left, I believe.
Pudge Rodriguez
6:34
What do my Rangers need to do to compete with Astros and Athletics in 2020?
Connor Byrne
6:35
Fix catcher, 3B, 1B, maybe middle infield, maybe outfield, add at least one good SP behind Lynn and Minor, address the bullpen. In other words, a lot.
braves man
6:35
Odds the Nats lose at least one of Rendon/starsburg?
Connor Byrne
6:36
They're probably pretty good. You could be looking at almost $400MM in guarantees between the two. Free agency's on the brink of starting, and when that happens, I tend to bet on the field to sign the player instead of his team. I do think the Nats keep at least one, though.
Jake
6:37
Does hicks reassume his closer role or will he have to beat out Martinez?
Connor Byrne
6:38
(Jordan Hicks, Carlos Martinez of the Cards) - We'll see. C-Mart could go back to the rotation, or they could even move him via trade. Hicks underwent TJS in late June if I'm not mistaken, so you can't necessarily count on him to make a quick bounce-back.
Marc
6:38
Even with Joe Maddon and Cole, the Halo's still aren't contenders. Help me understand what's going on in LA...
Connor Byrne
6:38
They would need more than Maddon and Cole, but it would be a nice start.
Pudge Rodriguez
6:39
Is Nolan Arenado the saving grace for the Rangers? Or should we focus on pitching and a cf?
Connor Byrne
6:39
I don't see the Rockies moving Arenado
Falvey
6:39
Does Derek Sheldon get a manager job
Connor Byrne
6:40
Seems like the Pirates have been the only team connected to Twins bench coach Derek Shelton. Now that the Pirates need a new GM, who knows. Their next GM might have zero interest in Shelton.
Jake
6:40
Where do the Astros go for SP next year? Cole likely gone with Miley and verlander aging...
Connor Byrne
6:41
Well, Verlander's still amazing. They'll have Greinke, a returning McCullers and Urquidy. Don't think HOU will do anything huge, but their GM, Jeff Luhnow, is the same guy who dug up Morton and Miley for relatively little money.
JD Davis
6:42
I'm clearly an everyday player, but where do I go in the field? Do I play LF, or do I take of 3B, leaving McNeil as a super utility guy? I feel like I'm a better 3B than OF.
Connor Byrne
6:42
Flexibility's a great thing, especially in today's game. If the Mets keep JD, he'll continue to get his at-bats.
NB
6:43
Can we stop with the explanation of who people are. People reading this site already know who they are
Connor Byrne
6:43
It's a policy of ours. Not everyone knows the members of front offices.
Eric C
6:44
Does Will Smith of the Giants receive a QO?
Connor Byrne
6:44
This is tough to predict. In a vacuum, is Smith good enough for a QO? Yes. But would the Giants, who probably aren't going to contend in 2020, risk paying him $17.8MM for one year? Questionable at best.
James in Houston
6:45
Do the Astros re-sign Miley?  Seems like he gave pretty good production until he hit a wall.  The Astros could've managed his innings a little better.
Connor Byrne
6:46
It wouldn't be any kind of shock either way, though HOU has left him off its roster the last couple playoff rounds.
Jeykel
6:46
Do you think that a change between Yankees and Chicago would have an effect ... Anthony Rizzo * by Jonathan Loaisiga, Estevan Florial and Luke Voit
Connor Byrne
6:46
Rizzo's one of the only untouchables on the Cubs
Quinn
6:47
Cardinals surely have to move Jose Martinez this offseason right? Really quality player that they couldn’t find AB’s for due to his fielding.
Connor Byrne
6:47
He probably should've been moved last offseason when Goldschmidt came aboard. Now STL would be selling especially low (not to say it can't/won't happen)
Joseph
6:48
Hello Connor. It’s my Birthday so answering my question can be like a gift! Lol. So I know they are just rumors right now but if the Dodgers traded for Lindor, would a package of Keibert Ruiz, Joc Pederson, Tony Gonsolin, and Jeter Downs get it done? And if so does that mean Seager shits to third while Turner moves to first?
