Connor Byrne
6:41
I would love to hear Jim Brockmire drunkenly calling a game for every team.
Dodgers
6:41
How serious are the Sox about Joc? Would they give up Bummer?
Connor Byrne
6:42
Another White Sox question. They're clearly serious, as they've gone after Joc in back-to-back offseasons. But the Dodgers aren't getting Bummer for JP.
John
6:42
In your opinion, was the Wheeler signing a Middleton/KlentAk move??
Connor Byrne
6:43
Both? Phils owner John Middleton has to sign off on these deals, and GM Matt Klentak may well be amid a do-or-die offseason. Throw caution to the wind and go for it.
Jake C
6:43
Realistic Marlins OF Targets?
Connor Byrne
6:44
Avi Garcia seems pretty realistic to me
Brian Cashman
6:44
If i can't get Cole what do i do?
Connor Byrne
6:45
The Yankees have met with Cole and Strasburg, and seem to have some interest in Bumgarner. If they don't get one of those guys, I don't know. Try to build a super offense? Trade for Lindor?
PUIG
6:45
Why am I not being brought up at all?
my career stat line is better than all other available FA?
Should I go back to the Reds?
Connor Byrne
6:46
Baggage? I like Puig, but he seems to be kind of tough to deal with behind the scenes. And he wasn't very good this year.
Nathan
6:46
I’ saw something the other day about a massive salary dump between the Angels and Red Sox that included the halos getting Mookie Betts, David Price and Nathan Eovaldi. Is this even remotely possible?
Connor Byrne
6:46
No
Eric
6:47
Thoughts on the Hamels deal?
Connor Byrne
6:47
I like it a lot for ATL. They got a very solid starter for the price of a QO. Nice work.
Jerry D
6:48
What the heck are the reds going to do? They keep missing out on players they want
Connor Byrne
6:49
They just paid $64MM for Moustakas
Jonny
6:49
Where is Villar going to start for Miami? SS 2B 3B CF?
Connor Byrne
6:49
Seems as if he'll move around the diamond
Dodgers Nation
6:50
Would the dodgers really put Turner on the trade block if we signed Rendon? Seems crazy to me.
Connor Byrne
6:50
Possibly. They could just move Turner to 1B/2B, but they're already in good shape at those positions (as they are just about everywhere else)
The Ghost of Pop Logan
6:51
Are NYY really serious contenders for Cole, or were the statements over the last week and visits this week just a ploy to say they tried when he signs elsewhere?
Connor Byrne
6:52
Cole seems to be GM Brian Cashman's white whale, so you can bet they're serious. But do they have the luxury-tax room to get Cole? We'll see. I have my doubts, if the tax is really a huge concern for owner Hal Steinbrenner.
Vladdy Bichette
6:52
Will jays convince a starter to join them?
Connor Byrne
6:52
Yes. Probably at least one Pineda/Teheran type.
Angel fanatic
6:53
We get those trash cans out of Astro dugout we win west next year, right Connor?
Connor Byrne
6:53
Maybe if the Angels get Cole/Strasburg, but even then, the Astros and A's will be extremely tough to jump
Oh no will
6:54
3 years 60 mil left how bad is this contract? And Hosmer ugh
Connor Byrne
6:54
You're talking about Wil Myers? It's a very bad contract. Good luck getting rid of it, Padres. Don't even get me going on that Hosmer deal.
Dylan
6:55
Corey Seager for Josh Hader?
Connor Byrne
6:56
Dodgers wouldn't do this
Slick Dick Williams
6:56
Could Suarez be on the trade block
Connor Byrne
6:57
I very much doubt it. He's an almost 50-HR guy on a nice contract. Reds' INF looks set with the possible exception of SS, where I still think they should add Gregorius.
NYM
6:58
More likely the mets get JBJ or Marte
Connor Byrne
6:58
I kind of expect Pillar to end up there
Battling Bucs
6:58
Realistic signings for Pirates?
Connor Byrne
6:58
Castro? Romine? Some other catcher I'm not naming?
Brodie to the max (BVW)
6:59
Better to sign a solid innings eater like Porcello, or to try to grab a couple of cheap options like Gausman, Walker, Kwang, Yamaguchi, etc?
Connor Byrne
6:59
I like Porcello, but I might go the latter route. Gausman and T. Walker are intriguing.
Mike C
7:00
With Scott Boras representing Jacoby Ellsbury, is there way he gets in the way of the Yankees actually signing Cole or Strasburg?
