Connor Byrne

I don't. I just think they're a long way from competing for anything.
Boomstick

Should Rangers move Gallo back to 3B if they strikeout on Donaldson?
Connor Byrne
6:17
Don't see it happening. He could be their center fielder. They've got guys like Danny Santana and Nick Solak who could perhaps handle 3B if they don't bring in outside help.

What would an extension for Yadi Molina cost? And would it be worth it?
Connor Byrne
6:19
I'd need more time to look into it, but I'm not sure it would be worth it. Unless the price is extremely reasonable, I'd let him play out the year and then revisit it.
Angels GM BEpp
6:20
if I strike out on Cole and Stras, where do I turn next?
Connor Byrne
6:20
Zack Wheeler
Phillies2020
6:20
Bobby Abreu a HOF'er?
Connor Byrne
6:20
No, but he's not that far off. Extremely underrated career.
Kelly Grubers wing man
6:20
better positioned team White Sox’s or Blue Jays?
Connor Byrne
6:20
I'll say the White Sox largely based on the fact that they're in the AL Central, while TOR's stuck in the AL East
Klentak
6:21
Would the royals take odubel Herrera and vince Velazquez for Danny Duffy
Connor Byrne
6:21
No
Guille
6:22
Mike Ford over under for ABs next year?
Connor Byrne
6:22
Hmmm ... 200
Tim
6:22
Do the Cubs enter the Cole race?
Connor Byrne
6:23
I think they'll at least kick the tires, but I'll be shocked it they're in to a much greater extent than that
Gardy
6:23
Chances I end up reunited with Joe G. in Philly?
Connor Byrne
6:24
(Brett Gardner, Joe Girardi) - Guess I could see it, as the Phillies need CF help. However, Gardy and the Yankees prefer to stay together, so that would have to fall apart first.
Bob M
6:25
why wouldn't the reds be interested in bringing puig back instead of ozuna
Connor Byrne
6:25
Puig's kind of an acquired taste. Maybe the Reds had their fill of him.
Just a fan
6:26
Which contentious ballot nomination is making the HOF? Clemens, Bonds, Schilling?
Connor Byrne
6:26
Don't know, but all three should be in
Chris
6:27
Why would Cleveland want Seager for Lindor? He's also only got 2 years of control left.
Connor Byrne
6:27
Well, Seager's a lot cheaper, so if CLE trades Lindor but still wants to compete, there you go.
Price
6:28
Am I crazy to think the Reds should explore trading Aquino? I'm not entirely sold on him, and he seems like the ultimate sell-high opportunity. Include him in a deal to get Trevor Story or someone like that, then push hard for Castellanos or Avi Garcia to fill in right.
Connor Byrne
6:28
Depends on trade value. I doubt Aquino's is particularly high.
DaSnake
6:29
Yanks get which arm in your opinion...
Connor Byrne
6:29
I'll say Wheeler for the hell of it. He'll be expensive, but they've been big fans in the past.
Gerrit Cole
6:30
What is all this talk about me getting the highest contract of all time? I'm nowhere near as good as Price and Verlander and Grienke and Scherzer and other pitchers when they hit free agency. What is the big deal?
Connor Byrne
6:31
You're 29, just struck out 326 guys, put up a 2.00-something ERA and almost won the Cy Young. You deserve the biggest contract ever over Price, who signed a few years ago and was 1-2 years older then than Cole is now, I believe.
Kristen
6:32
Mazara/Odor - any trade value at all?  Odor put up 2.4 fWAR just 2 years ago.
Connor Byrne
6:32
Mazara, yes. Odor, I doubt it very much.
Theo
6:32
Move Caratini, put Schwarber back at backup C, re-sign Castellanos. Am I crazy?
Connor Byrne
6:33
Schwarber as a catcher seems like ancient history. Don't see it happening again.
Twins fan
6:33
Biggest FA signing for the Twins this offseason in your opinion?
Connor Byrne
6:34
One of Wheeler or Bumgarner (I realize I just picked Wheeler to NYY, but the Twins are also a very realistic possibility)
La Cheeserie
6:34
Think Nolan Ryan could still beat up a major league player? He looks amazing for his age
Connor Byrne
6:35
I wouldn't mess w/ him. Every postseason, he sits behind the plate staring in judgment, ready to strike.
Rocky
6:35
Should the Reds show Raisel Iglesias the back door?  Hasn’t he had a rough enough year last year?
