Probably not, but I've been touting him as an appealing buy-low candidate for weeks, and I'll continue doing so.
Maz

Lindor to Dodgers Ruiz, Lux and Verdugo who say no?
Connor Byrne
7:30
Seems too pricey for LA
Tyler
7:30
Does Texas go after a catcher, or are they bought in on Trevino?
Connor Byrne
7:30
They should. Jeff Mathis put a 2 wRC+ (!) this year. Astounding.
Connor Byrne, the pretty good
7:31
I also appreciate the chat. It's not too terrible.
Connor Byrne
7:31
It's at least mediocre
Connor Byrne, the bad
7:31
I hate these chats!
Connor Byrne
7:31
There. We've heard from everyone.

Connor, what's your xWOBA?
Connor Byrne

.435 (elite)
Ludicrous
7:33
Isn’t silly to mention trading a stud bc of his young “antics”? I’m mean, come on. Lol
Connor Byrne
7:33
What even are Acuna's "antics"? Admiring a fly ball on occasion? I'd put up with it considering the rest of the package.
Puig Your Friend
7:33
Could I be a Marlin?
Connor Byrne
7:34
Back when we were debating the top 50 FAs, we were dead set on Puig to the Marlins ... until we realized there was serious friction between him and Mattingly when the two were in LA.
Chris
7:35
Does anyone want Dee Gordon?
Connor Byrne
7:35
Not sure why they would. There are plenty of similarly/more valuable second basemen in free agency.
Little Fish Big Free Agency
7:36
Who can we expect Marlins to sign?
Connor Byrne
7:37
Perhaps a higher-profile type than you'd expect, as they have $ to spend and Jeter wants to put people in the seats. That's why I could see someone like Castellanos going there.
Rob
7:37
Tell me I’m wrong. But I don’t see the Yankees going after a big SP like Cole. They seem hellbent on their farm system and a rotation that would include Tanaka, Paxton, Severino, Garcia, King, Schmidt, Montgomery, etc, is not that terrible and more cost controlled.
Connor Byrne
7:38
I think they'll be in the race to some degree, but are they the favorites? I truly doubt it.
Mets
7:38
Do the mets sign any big free agents this year? any mid tier free agents at least?
Connor Byrne
7:38
They don't seem to have the financial flexibility under the Wilpons' budget. Good thing they spent all that $ on guys like Cano and Lowrie.

What starting pitchers do you predict the Phillies to sign
Connor Byrne
7:40
GM Matt Klentak said last week the Phils don't want to give up draft picks to sign people, which could rule out the Coles, Strasburgs and MadBums of the world. Guys like Ryu and Hamels still seem realistic.
Richie

Assuming  players waive their no trade? Stanton and 30million for Hosmer? who says no?
Connor Byrne
7:40
The Yankees. Hosmer's not good. Stanton is.
Kansas City fan
7:41
Who wins more games in 2020, the Royals or Chiefs?
Connor Byrne
7:41
Pat Mahomes would probably go 20-3 with a 1.95 ERA as a Royal.
A's
7:41
What should the A's do with Semien?
Connor Byrne
Ideally, they'll extend him
Orioles SUPER Fan

Poll Request: Who wins the 2020 World Series?
Connor Byrne
7:43
This will happen closer to the season.
CA from Miltown
7:44
2 years of control, small market team w no chance of resigning- thats Lindor AND Yelich. How come they're viewed so differently? No one speaks of a Yelich trade...
Connor Byrne
7:44
Yelich is controllable through 2022 on a $15MM club option, which looks like a no-brainer right now
Questions u Can't Answer
7:45
The 2112 World Series?
Connor Byrne
7:46
Mars Rovers over Jupiter Junebugs in 7
Richie

Cole, Bumgarner, Ryu? How many yrs and how millions per do the get?
