Connor Byrne

Yes. Not my pick, but still a good roster.
Cubby fan
3:41
I am boycotting baseball because of the DH because I care about tradition. Baseball was based on pitching and defense. Unfortunately, all people care about today is offense, gambling and fantasy league. They don't care about tradition.
Connor Byrne
3:41
Fair enough. I prefer the uni DH over watching a pitcher hit, but to each his/her own.
Contest
3:42
I'm in 2nd place in MLBTR prediction contest with 16 how many you got?
Connor Byrne
3:42
You're killing it, then. I think I have nine so far.
Red Sox fan I
3:42
Why haven't the red sox been connected with a reunion with rick porcello? I know he's average at best at times but they could use a starter that can go 30 starts for cheap not putting them over the precious luxory tax line.
Connor Byrne
3:43
I don't mind the idea, but I think they want to give Pivetta a chance to sink or swim.
Tigers Fan
3:44
I noticed you implied you don't like the moves Detroit made above.  What's not to like about Grossman, Ramos and Mazara especially? They're no less risky than Moore, Benintendi and 35 year old Santana...
Connor Byrne
3:44
Didn't mean to imply that. I just like KC's offseason more.
kc
3:44
thoughts on A's late moves? enough to contend in AL?
Connor Byrne
3:45
I'm glad they finally woke up. They're still a pretty good team in a division without a dominant-looking club, so it could be another playoff year.
Moreno
3:46
Since I hate paying for pitchers and Pujols comes off the books this year, do I make a run at one of the top FA SS?
Connor Byrne
3:47
(Angels owner Arte Moreno) - That would make sense. I thought they'd do more than add Jose Iglesias at SS this winter.
Ryan
3:47
Rank the following pending FA shortstops in order from most likely to least likely to sign an extension:
Javier Baez
Carlos Correa
Francisco Lindor
Corey Seager
Trevor Story
Connor Byrne
3:48
I'd probably go Lindor, Baez, Correa, Seager, Story
DQ
3:48
Do the Cards win the Central?
Connor Byrne
3:49
They're my pick right now
Dummythicc_luke
3:49
I feel bad for Trevor Story
Connor Byrne
3:49
I feel worse for Rockies fans
3:50
Story's making $17.5MM and will be out of there within a few months. The fans are stuck with the ineptitude.
JBJ
3:50
Where do I eventually sign?
Connor Byrne
3:52
I've gotten a lot of JBJ questions today, so I'll finally answer one. The Astros were my pre-offseason pick & still make a ton of sense as a fit to me, even if it appears unlikely at the moment.
Train
3:52
Your thoughts on Padres fans getting Yelich trade to SD trending on Twitter? Obv won’t happen but man reading some of the tweets about couldn’t tell if they were trolling or just not thinking lol
Connor Byrne
3:54
I've received a lot of questions on this Yelich thing, too. I knew nothing about it before the chat, and I haven't seen any credible reports, so I doubt it has any legs.
Tor Eckman
3:55
When will MLB wake up and allow draft pick trading? It would help even up the competition I belive.
Connor Byrne
3:56
I'm enjoying the Seinfeld-inspired usernames today. "You're eating too much dairy." Agree with you, Tor, that there should be draft pick trading. Hopefully we see that in the next CBA.
SELL THE TEAM BOB
3:56
So these questions are pre-made by your staff? You don't take questions at all?
Connor Byrne
3:57
No. I've been talking to myself for the past 40 minutes.
Blue
3:57
If Kenley can't close it anymore during the season, could the Dodgers trade for Hader or any elite closer avail or closers by committee what they have now?
Connor Byrne
3:57
In this scenario, yeah, I would expect the Dodgers to be heavily in on top relievers, whether that's Hader or others.
Gilbert Gottfried
3:58
"Junior is a wonderful Kid"
Connor Byrne
3:58
Now we're referencing Problem Child. I like it.
Charlie Gehringer Redux
3:59
What's the matter with the Hall. Lou Whitaker should be in.
Connor Byrne
3:59
I've kind of given up on the Hall, but yes, he should be in.
Curious Person
3:59
Best player on the White Sox 2 years from now?
Connor Byrne
4:00
This is tough. I'll take Moncada, but with Anderson, Robert and Eloy, it's hard to go wrong.
Giolito too. They're good.
Adam
4:01
Who do you think has the best 5 year outlook: SD, DET, SEA?
Connor Byrne
4:01
Gotta be the Padres. They're miles above those teams now and still have an above-average system
Tim
4:02
Bill Freehan and Jim Kaat - HOFers!!
