I'd keep him if the goal is to win in 2020 (which it is for the Reds)

Bradleyto Mets? Smith for Bradleyndoes either turn it down?
Connor Byrne
6:37
I don't find this wholly unreasonable, but a cheap Smith for 1 year of an expensive Bradley may not appeal to a Mets team that might not have a lot of financial wiggle room

Any chance the Twins could pry Chapman from the A's, then shift Sano to 1B?
Connor Byrne
6:37
Nobody's prying Chapman from the A's

I have recently seen a lot of reports of Moustakas signing with Phillies. Will the Phillies be able sign a pitcher like Wheeler, Strasburg, Cole, others I didn’t mention if they do sign him?
Connor Byrne
6:38
Yes. Moustakas won't cost that much.
Mike Trout
6:39
Face it, i don't care about winning. I only care about money.
Connor Byrne

Just when you think MLB owners have realized crazy contracts are ruining the budget (Pujols) someone will sign Derrick Cole for obscene money.
Connor Byrne
6:40
Derrick Cole stinks
Albert Pujols
6:40
Any chance I accept a role as the most expensive bench player of all time?
Connor Byrne
6:40
If that's how the Angels want to play it, what choice do you have? Unfortunately, Pujols has no value as a player anymore.
Mike Trout
6:41
Funny vid but why sign an extension with a team that can't even make the playoffs and has wasted every year I've been here?
Connor Byrne
6:42
Because he loves playing there and (whether misguided) approves of the team's direction? I'd never question Trout's desire to win.
Bob Loblaw
6:42
Crazy idea: MLB should institute MTV rock and jock features, like allocating added run values for longer distance homers.
Connor Byrne
6:42
The more MTV Rock N Jock references, the better
Jon Daniels
6:43
Who can I get to play 1b that can actually hit?
Connor Byrne
6:44
How about Justin Smoak? This is probably the fifth straight chat I've tried to get Smoak a job. Time for him and his agent to start paying me.

I’m convinced you’re an idiot

Who wins the ALWest 2020?
Connor Byrne
6:45
Give me the A's in an upset (though who knows how the offseason will go)
Albert Pujols
6:45
Cardinals or Angels HOF cap?
Connor Byrne
6:45
Absolutely Cardinals. Have you accomplished anything as an Angel?
No
6:46
How can you say the white Sox will sign 2-3 too free agents when they've never been willing to pay flat money and years?
Connor Byrne
6:46
All top 50 free agents aren't created equally. Our top 50 list ranges from, like, 250MM to 5MM.
Seinfeld the GOAT
6:46
Just pointing that out.
Connor Byrne
6:46
No argument here.
A. Gordon
6:46
When do I sign my contract?
Connor Byrne
6:47
Alex Gordon has said he wants to take the winter to decide his future, so probably January-February
Trader Phil
6:48
I object to the notion that not 50 FAs are created equally? Brandon Kintzler will get $200M this offseason. Probably from the Mets.
Connor Byrne
6:48
Sounds about right
Tim
6:48
If the Pirates rebuild, other then Marte, who do you see them trading ?
Connor Byrne
6:49
Archer springs to mind. Kela? Possibly Bell if they think there's zero chance to extend him. His agent, Scott Boras, didn't sound optimistic about it over the summer. Maybe Polanco, though they'd be selling low after an injury-riddled season.
Hosmer
6:50
Any AL team willing to take me on with a prospect thrown in?  Clear some space for the Padres...
Connor Byrne
6:50
You made that bed, Padres. Lie in it.
WillReuter88

Does Jeter get in the HOF this year? It would surprise me if he doesn't get in.
Connor Byrne
6:50
He's a first-ballot HOFer
Ohtani
6:51
Pitching/hitting projections for 2020?
