Chapman & Will Smith are the best potential FA lefty relievers. Tony Watson could make sense. Jake Diekman's someone the Nats had interest in this summer.

Foster

7:15

Who is gonna win the Stanley Cup?

Connor Byrne

7:15

The Ralph Krueger-led Buffalo Sabres, of course.

Grandal

7:15

4 year deal for $65 mill sound right?

Connor Byrne

7:15

Could be somewhat high, but that's not unreasonable, especially w/ no QO hanging over his head.

Marty T

7:16

If Chapman opts out of NYY, and they don't pursue, who closes?

Connor Byrne

7:16

Britton would probably be the in-house front-runner

Dodgers

7:16

Remind me again why we signed AJ Pollock

Connor Byrne

7:17

I didn't love that signing at the time (now watch Pollock win WS MVP or something)

Arte Moreno

7:17

Is 170M/6Y enough to land Cole?

Connor Byrne

7:17

Doubtful. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get 200MM or more.

Deflation

7:18

Sounds like you are predicting free agents will be low balled this offseason. Get it while you can. Would you take a QO or opt into the trials of free agency? Lots of players have a tough decision on this.

Connor Byrne

7:18

Depends on the type of year I had. If I'm a guy like Gregorius, I'd have a tough time turning down the QO. For the Coles and Rendons, rejecting's a no-brainer

Charlie Morton

7:19

How many productive years do you think I have left?

Connor Byrne

7:19

2-3? However, if memory serves, Morton has suggested he might retire after next season.

Nice Work

7:19

Great chat! Thanks for your insight. Lots of good Q & A!

Connor Byrne

7:20

Thank you! I appreciate all the questions. That's it for me tonight. Sorry if I couldn't get to yours Qs. Talk next week.
