Tigers in the Dumps
7:25
Who's their biggest offseason acquisition?
Connor Byrne
7:26
Some free agent for $15MM to $20MM total? Gotta spend some $ somewhere.
Dunkin
7:27
Best hot stove drink?
Connor Byrne
7:27
Lukewarm vodka/whisky/gin is the hottest thing I drink
Jason
7:27
Who is likely to give up whats needed for Betts
Connor Byrne
Hoffman
7:28
Can we talk about Kirby not getting the Hoffman Relief Award for a minute....?  Hader... 15 hrs... Kirby... 8 earned runs....  all the stats point one way
Connor Byrne
7:29
I pay zero attention to this award, but if you're saying Yates had a better year than Hader, I agree
Dark
7:30
Who is the most likely to spend big in free agency this offseason among the following: Texas, LAA, Cincinnati, Minnesota, or CWS?
Connor Byrne
7:30
Angels, but I expect all to be pretty aggressive
Patrick
7:30
When will the NL add a DH?
Connor Byrne
7:31
Maybe in the next CBA, which expires December 2021. It needs to happen ASAP, though. Look up Felipe Alou's thoughts on pitchers hitting. Dead on.
A Match for Mookie
7:32
Hallmark Channel, 9PM Wednesday
Connor Byrne
7:32
Starring Lori Loughlin as Mookie Betts (or is she in prison?)
B Rad
7:32
Are the Rockies rebuilding or ?
Connor Byrne
7:33
Not as of now, but they should be. However, Jeff Bridich is a lousy GM, so they probably don't have the sense to go full-measure in that regard.
Tribe
7:34
If we keep Lindor sign Puig and a second baseman aren't we pretty good
Connor Byrne
7:35
Yes, but you're not extending Lindor, so shouldn't you try to get the best possible return for him now? It's a fascinating dilemma.
BVW
7:36
Nimmo, Smith and one of the minor league SS for Betts?
Connor Byrne
7:36
"Nope"-Red Sox
Zack Wheeler
7:36
5 years for $100 million sound right?
Connor Byrne
7:37
That's our exact prediction for his deal
Lindor
7:37
Isn't the deadline probably going to get a better return?  Also makes sense for the Indians, as they can see where they are, and decide if they should go for it with him, or get the haul.
Connor Byrne
7:38
Part of the dilemma. Nothing you said is far-fetched. Tough choice for Cleveland.
Gibson
7:38
5 years for $80 million sound right??
Connor Byrne
7:39
For Kyle Gibson? He has about as much chance at $80MM as 84-year-old Bob Gibson does.
MK
7:39
Are Boston’s Cap problems overblown? As long as they don’t go $40M over, the penalties aren’t that bad for a team like Boston
Connor Byrne
7:39
The penalties don't seem that "bad" for anyone, but a lot of billionaire owners like to cry poor
Jeffrey Todd Helton
7:40
"Yes, but you're not extending Lindor, so shouldn't you try to get the best possible return for him now? It's a fascinating dilemma."

If the Indians can win a championship in the next 2 years (which by all accounts is what they are trying to do) what does it matter if Lindor extends or not?
Connor Byrne
7:40
There's a case that ship has just about sailed
Grandal
7:41
Really believe I get a 4 year deal with the way catcher's breakdown?
Connor Byrne
7:41
Yes, or at least a very high-AAV deal over 3
Danny
7:42
What are your thoughts on Cherington?
Connor Byrne
7:42
I have no beef w/ the Pirates choosing him as their GM. I'm very interested to see how he fares running a low-budget team after being in charge of a high-payroll club.
Klentak
7:43
What should I do with Odubel Herrera?
Connor Byrne
7:43
You people are trolling me with the Odubel Herrera questions
George W. Bush
7:44
Will I ever be MLB commissioner?
Connor Byrne
7:44
Hopefully not
Anthopoulos
7:44
Matthew Boyd? Why would I not
Connor Byrne
7:45
You'll probably try, Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos (as i'm pretty sure you did over the summer). But will the Tigers' asking price be more reasonable this time?
