December flurry
7:40
Once Donaldson, Ryu sign, do you see the trade market going crazy?
Connor Byrne
7:41
That seems to be the implication. At the very least, no more Donaldson = Bryant market's expected to heat up
Jake
7:41
Which few RPs on the market will likely command the largest contracts?
Connor Byrne
7:42
Off the very top of my head, Will Harris and Betances come to mind
Lonnie
7:42
Why aren't Dodgers resigning Ryu?  He presumably wants to stay with them.  Seems like a no-brainer, especially now that Cole, Strasburg, Kluber, and MadBum are gone.
Connor Byrne
7:43
Don't know. Unless LAD swings some major trade, he looks like their best bit for a front-end starter.
Nostradamus
7:44
White Sox or Blue Jays better set up for a dynasty in the 2020s?
Connor Byrne
7:44
I guess the White Sox because they have multiple tomato cans in their division
7:45
*I mean to say best bet on the Ryu answer
Steveo
7:45
Ryu get a 3 or a 4 yr deal?
Connor Byrne
7:46
I'd have thought 3 coming into the winter, but every FA seems to be doing way better than expected, so 4 wouldn't be that surprising
Ozuna
7:46
Why haven’t I signed?
Connor Byrne
7:47
Waiting for the other best bats to come off the market
Yeezy
7:47
MLB is having a fantasy draft and you’re the GM, Mike Trout just got drafted who are you taking
Connor Byrne
7:47
Ronald Acuna Jr.
Cal
7:48
Every FA is doing better than expected...other than MadBum.  What’s up with that?
Connor Byrne
7:48
Well, 5/85 is pretty good for a 30-year-old non-eliite starter. MLBTR predicted 4/72.
Bigmike
7:50
When will Kris Bryant grievance be settled?  Gotta imagine it is holding up his trade market
Connor Byrne
7:50
I don't think the Cubs even know this yet.
edgar martinez
7:51
Does anyone in the mariners organization know what they are doing? anyone with a subscription to baseball america could do a better job!
Connor Byrne
7:51
Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto has done a nice job building up their farm system of late, if that means anything. They're still a couple years from competing in MLB, though.
Brodie Jr.
7:52
Jose Leclerc for Dom Smith... who says no?
Connor Byrne
7:52
Texas
Armchair GM
7:52
Despite what you said, the Indians are still better than the Twins, as currently constructed.
Connor Byrne
7:52
How are they "still better" after the Twins blew their doors off last season?
Aceofthirdbase
7:53
Mistake by Yanks to resign Chapman instead of taking the pick and financial flexibility?
Connor Byrne
7:54
Not really. Reasonable deal for Chapman, who's still dominant, and FA hasn't been overflowing w/ great options otherwise.
Ray
7:55
The one TV commercial (or series of) you could do without?
Connor Byrne
7:55
The State Farm ads that air during NFL games
Bleacher 141
7:55
Can you give a quick evaluation of the Zaidi move to acquire Cozart and will Wilson?
Connor Byrne
7:56
I like the Cozart move a lot for the Giants. They just bought a good prospect at the cost of Cozart, who will be around for a year at most
Derrick
7:57
What 3-5 starter do you see the White Sox nab in the winter meetings?
Connor Byrne
7:57
The Winter Meetings are over, but Keuchel?
Answer an A’s question dammit
7:58
You’ve answered 10 Phillies and 10 Nationals questions, but not 1 A’s question?   Come on man.
Connor Byrne
7:58
Must be because I hate the A's and would do anything to see them fail (or that I've gotten few to no A's questions)
Ask Conner
7:59
Are you surprised Giants didn't resign MadBum? 5 yrs 85 mil seems doable.
Connor Byrne
7:59
Not really. They had months to do so between the summer trade deadline and now, and there were very few extension rumors.
Yeezy
8:00
Why didn’t the Giants trade MadBum and Smith when they had the chance? Could’ve helped the rebuild go faster
Connor Byrne
8:01
I'd have done so in their shoes. Maybe ownership stopped pres. Farhan Zaidi from pulling off those moves.
Crash Test Dummies
8:01
mmm mmmm mmmm Are you saying Maikel Franco is a better option than Todd frazier?
