Connor Byrne
6:49
If he's healthy, I think he'll do as well or better on a per-inning basis.
Worried Twins Fan
6:50
Say the Sox continue adding on and sign both Edwin and Castellanos, and the Twins continue to do nothing, what's your percent change of White Sox/Twins winning the central?
Connor Byrne
6:51
Even if the Sox sign both, there's still ground to make up. There was a 28.5-game difference between the two last season.
Aaron Boone
6:51
I think what most people miss is that Cole essentially replaces Sabathia. That should save at least 40-50 innings from the bullpen, or perhaps even more if we use less openers.
Connor Byrne
6:51
I'm sure Severino's return will also spare the bullpen quite a bit of work
Kyle
6:52
Any update on the Dbacks adding an OF? Maybe a guy like Kole Calhoun on a one year deal?
Connor Byrne
6:53
Calhoun makes a good amount of sense
Shohei Ohtani
6:55
There's a lot of pressure on me to be the team's Ace since our GM seems inept at finding good pitching.
Connor Byrne
6:55
We'll see how the next few months go, but even though Ohtani is incredible, it's hard to bank on a post-TJS guy with, what, 50 MLB innings under his belt?
JoJo the giant man
6:56
King Felix or Domingo Santana to the Giants? Good fits?
Connor Byrne
6:57
I kind of like the Felix idea on a low-cost MLB deal or a minors pact. On the other hand, Santana's a defensive disaster who should probably stay in the AL.
Philly Pops
6:58
Any rumors of the Phillies bringing on Alex Wood?
Connor Byrne
6:58
I know they've liked him in the past, but I haven't come across any rumors in a while (doesn't mean they don't exist. I just haven't seen them)
Lt. Sergant
6:59
What do you think of Rich Hill's arrest?
Connor Byrne
6:59
His only real crime is liking the Patriots

Merry Christmas Connor
Connor Byrne
7:00
Thank you! Same to you and the other readers (or whatever holiday you celebrate)
Santa Claus

Ho ho ho. Thoughts on Dallas Keuchel and Gio Gonzalez signing with my Chicago White Stockings??
Connor Byrne
7:01
Too much for Keuchel. Gonzalez is fine.
Jason Garrett
7:01
Hello America, I am still employed by the Dallas Cowboys.
Connor Byrne
7:02
For another week. I've been rewatching Homeland lately. Garrett = Nicholas Brody
Reds fan
7:02
Odds of Reds finishing 4th in the division?
Connor Byrne
7:03
Decent. I wouldn't put them over the Cards, Cubs or Brewers just yet.
Connor
7:03
Why don’t the Yankees try to resign betances rather than trading for Hader?
Connor Byrne
7:04
It's a fair question. Yanks could be wary of Betances after all the injuries last season, or maybe there's tension between the two after Dellin's arbitration fiasco from a couple years back.
Missing Persons
7:04
Why no word on Starlin Castro, Domingo Santana? Both very productive bats and still young yet nobody is even discussing them
Connor Byrne
7:05
They both kind of stunk last year & probably won't be signing for very much.
Chris
7:05
Connor is my spirit animal for asking that Dellin vs Hater (sic intended) question
Connor Byrne
7:06
My New Year's resolution was to be someone's spirit animal. Now what am I gonna do? Thanks for nothing, Chris!
SouthjerseySteve
7:07
Theo is really overrated. He destroyed the Cubs. Yes, they got a title. But you gotta wonder what they were thinking with Chatwood, Heyward & Kimbrel even before they underperformed
Connor Byrne
7:07
"Yes, they got a title ... after 108 years without one"
Brian
7:07
Would you trade Gleyber Torres for Lindor ?
Connor Byrne
7:07
No chance from NYY's POV
Ralphy
7:08
Will I shoot my eye out?
Connor Byrne
7:08
Almost, and then the Bumpus hounds will eat your family's turkey, forcing you to go to a Chinese restaurant for Christmas
A-ha
7:09
With that logic, is ever GM successful if they get a title? Turns out Dombrowski wasn't that good.
Connor Byrne
7:09
Guess we have differing opinions, because I think Dombrowski did a pretty good job w/ the Red Sox. No exec is perfect.
No bagel

Jason Castro to Angels?
Connor Byrne
7:10
Makes plenty of sense to me
Bill Belichick

Don't be a hater
