Cory,
Motown Man
6:41
Jason Kipnis ends up where?
Connor Byrne
6:42
I don't know. There are a lot of similarly valuable 2B on the market. Throw a dart at a team's logo.
Teeman
6:43
Does JD move Haniger now, at trade deadline, or hold over for rebuild?
Connor Byrne
6:43
I'd hold him until at least the deadline, but knowing Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto, he'll be traded by tomorrow
Oh, Hi Mark
6:44
Chances Makiel Franco's career path mirrors Edwin Encarnacion?
Connor Byrne
6:44
Probably not that good. What has Franco done since very early in his career? Pretty much nothing.
PATS 'STROS CHEAT OFF
6:44
Ever been drinking at the Conor Byrne in Seattle?
Connor Byrne
6:45
No, but I should make this happen at some point
MLB Fan
6:45
Is Hunter Pence a feasible option for the Braves while they wait for the development of Pache and Waters? Also, what does a realistic trade package for Kris Bryant from the Braves given he wins his case?
Connor Byrne
6:46
Not sure he's a feasible option for any NL team. Seems like primarily a DH these days.
Yankees Fan
6:46
More value presently. Voit or Andujar?
Connor Byrne
6:46
Andujar
Brothers? No...Yes?
6:46
You and Eric Byrne?
Connor Byrne
6:47
Don't know Eric Byrnes. Never met him. But I am related to the great David Byrne (no, I'm not)
Jo Adell
6:47
Chances I get traded by Angels?
Connor Byrne
6:47
Zero
Kirk
6:48
Who could the Reds likely upgrade at C and SS? No FAs left, so what’s the most likely trade pickup?
Connor Byrne
6:49
I was banking on Gregorius to Cincy. Now, unless they swing a major trade, I'm guessing Galvis will be starting there. At C, maybe Chirinos or J. Castro ?
Twin Bill
6:50
In ten years who will we say had the best career? Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton or Max Kepler?
Connor Byrne
6:50
Probably Kepler. I think Buxton's the most talented, but injuries are always a problem. Would love to see him stay healthy & realize his potential.
Yvne sineP
6:51
Best pitcher in New York?  Cole, Syndagaard, or Chance Adams?
Connor Byrne
6:51
Definitely Chance Adams
6:52
(seriously, though, how do you put anyone over Jacob deGrom right now?)
Fantasy Chat Step Up to the Bat
6:52
Can you guys host any fantasy baseball focused chats before draft season? That would be amazing
Connor Byrne
6:52
I could run it by my boss, Tim Dierkes, but we don't really have any fantasy experts on staff
Red Fraggle
6:53
How do you feel about the O's rebuild so far?  I know it's a long process, but I feel like Elias knows what he's doing.
Connor Byrne
6:53
I like GM Mike Elias, but they're still a long way from relevance
George Castanza
6:54
Psst... Connor I have inside news on a Yankee signing.  DM me
Connor Byrne
6:54
When the assistant to the traveling secretary speaks, I listen
Rob blood
6:55
Do the Phillies finally land Ray now after the madbum
Connor Byrne
6:55
I like the idea. Nola-Wheeler-Ray ... very nice
Cubs fan
6:56
Heard Darvish might be on the trade block? Would he accept a trade to a contender? And would the Cubs need to add money and what kind of return would we get?
Connor Byrne
6:57
There was a report the other day saying Yu would not accept a trade anywhere, but I'm unclear on his no-trade clause. Some sources say it's a 12-teamer; others claim it's a full NTC. We're looking into it.
dirty dan
6:57
I had a dream that the yankees traded for Lindor with Torres as the headliner.  That was crazy right?
Connor Byrne
6:57
Yes. Go back to bed.
CK
6:57
How about a Reds question? NOT! The Reds will stink so does anyone give Jacoby Ellsbury a ST invite?
Connor Byrne
6:58
Sure, why not?
Angels Fan
6:58
As of now prediction for Angels wins/losses?
Connor Byrne
6:58
82?
