Connor Byrne

I'll take the great shortstop (Tatis) over the great first baseman
Breaking the 4th Wall
6:40
Did you just post a youtube link?  Is that a legal chat move?  Is this a first?  I'm calling Tim.
Connor Byrne
6:40
I honestly didn't even know if you could. Now it's in my bag of tricks from now on!
Padre Pete
6:41
Let's put this ridiculous debate to rest. Do you think Manny Machado still signs with the Padres if they don't sign Eric Hosmer first, all other things equal?
Connor Byrne
6:41
Why wouldn't he?
A’s ‘20 WS champs!
6:42
I haven’t been this excited with the A’s in a long time!
Connor Byrne
6:42
They should be really good again. Will be interesting to see how much they get from guys like Manaea, Puk, Luzardo and Cotton over a full season.
CF
6:43
Does the meh class of FA center fielders make Inciarte a more valuable trade chip?
Connor Byrne
6:43
Yes, but whether the Braves will trade him remains to be seen. Could depend on how close they think Pache/Waters are.
Connor rules
6:44
My predication for cadtellqnos was 3/45 to NL team or 5/55 to AL team
Connor Byrne
6:44
I do rule. The first prediction, at least in terms of average annual value, seems more realistic.
Webberoni Pizza
6:45
Matt Carpenter's bounceback 2020 wrc+ is....?
Connor Byrne
6:45
Hmmm ... 115
Grapes
6:45
At least your Bills didn't trade up to draft Trubisky over Mahomes and Watson
Connor Byrne
6:46
Good point. My Bills did trade out of drafting Mahomes and Watson, but at least they used the pick on Tre'Davious White, who's phenomenal
Nicholas Castellanos
6:46
Is the Marlins' interest in me similar to the Nationals signing Jayson Werth a few years back?
Connor Byrne
6:47
Not sure the Marlins are competent enough to build a real winner thereafter, as the Nats did, but I do find the Castellanos idea realistic enough.
G
6:47
Which team signs more free agents and which team improves the most - Brewers or Reds?
Connor Byrne
6:47
I'll say the Reds in both cases, but there's more room for improvement there than there is with the Brewers
Mo
6:48
Which teams have a need for catcher and can deal starting pitching. Looking for a match for contreras
Connor Byrne
6:48
I'd need to look into this more, but teams like the Reds, Brewers, Angels, Astros, Rays come to mind as catcher-needy teams
Alex Anthopoulos
6:49
I need a catcher...
Connor Byrne
6:49
Yes, the Braves too (GM Alex Anthopoulos)
PDX
6:49
Why doesn’t mlb
Connor Byrne
6:49
No idea.
Gmen
6:49
Did you just say out rushed ladanian Tomlinson, *pulls out calendar * WHAT YEAR IS IT
Connor Byrne
6:50
Yes! Look up the numbers. LJ's first 16 games = more rushing yards than LT's first 16.
Jelly Gruber’s wing man
6:50
What’s the latest on Micheal Fulmer?
Connor Byrne
6:50
Haven't heard about him in quite some time, but at last check, he's recovering on schedule.
Jose Abreu
6:51
I am nowhere near worth the 3/50+ million dollar deal I am seeking.  Does Jerry actually give me this?
Connor Byrne
6:51
The White Sox would be nuts to give Abreu that kind of deal. Frankly, I don't think he's much more valuable (probably less) than the $17.8MM qualifying offer.
Ross Atkins
6:52
Help me out Connor what should I do this offseason? I have loads of cash to spend if need be.
Connor Byrne
6:53
(Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins) - Another Chase Anderson-type pickup or two. We at MLBTR really thought Toronto made sense as a Julio Teheran trade destination when we were putting together our free agent list. Teheran was still Braves property then, and now he'd only cost money to acquire. Get on it, Jays.
Jack
6:53
Will Arcia be a Brewer next year?
Connor Byrne
6:54
Probably, but they really ought to aim higher (Gregorius?). Arcia has not been good at all.
***TRADE IDEA***
6:54
Yanks get Lindor. Cleveland gets Andujar, Garcia, Florial and another low level minor leaguer. Who says no?
Connor Byrne
6:55
This would actually be a pretty decent offer from NYY.
Baseballfan4life
6:55
What do the Giants do with pillar?
Connor Byrne
6:55
I'd non-tender him in their shoes
Rangers
6:56
What do we need to do in order to make the playoffs next year?
