I doubt it. If the Yankees make the best offer for Cole/Strasburg and either wants to play there, Boras isn't going to stand in the way.

Will the Rangers sign a big FA
Connor Byrne
7:02
Kyle Gibson's not big enough?!? In all seriousness, yes, I think they will. Donaldson's my pick.
Billy Eppler
7:02
I missed out on Cole, Stratsburg, madbum and others. Do I just
Connor Byrne
7:02
Yes, you just
Rick Porcello
7:02
Am I limited to a one year, prove it deal, or will there be multi-year offer(s) for my services?
Connor Byrne
7:03
Could see him getting something in the 2/20 range or thereabouts. Then again, we have seen some inflated deals already. Look at the Gibson, Moose, Pomeranz contracts, for example. Even Wheeler got more than expected.

Luxury tax is an excuse by the big spenders. Payroll of 230 million and they quibble about 10 million. When will fans wake to the nonsense?
Connor Byrne
7:04
You're preaching to the choir
NFL Chats

How come we don't have chats in any other sport, like NFL?
Connor Byrne
7:04
Don't know. Email the MLBTR account and request them.

No team was hurt more than the White Sox with Wheeler being gone. Now trying to fix that rotation is a lost cause
Connor Byrne
7:06
They're still pretty talented in the rotation, but admittedly, it might take at least another year to really come together. Giolito, Kopech, Cease, Lopez, Rodon...
Nate
7:06
Will you be at the winter meetings?
Connor Byrne
7:06
No. Steve Adams is going from our site.
Jeff
7:07
When is the MLB free agency leaderboard going to be posted for the contest?
Connor Byrne
7:07
Soon
Cheri on top
7:07
Do you think the White Sox would trade for Josh Bell since they resigned Abreu? If so, would Robert be untouchable? Kopech?
Connor Byrne
7:08
They wouldn't trade Robert or Kopech for Bell, if that's what you're asking
Larry Jones

raves take hosmer off padres hands with tatis for Alex jackson. Who says no?
Connor Byrne
7:08
You'd have to pry Tatis from the Padres' cold, dead hands
Scott
7:09
Donaldson to Twins
Connor Byrne
7:09
This wouldn't stun me
Cole
7:10
Why would I sign with Angles? How many years before angles can beat Astros or Athletic for wild card spot?
Connor Byrne
7:10
Because, Gerrit, you're from SoCal, grew up an Angels fan and they have the money to make the best offer
Eric
7:11
Who will land Castellanos?
Connor Byrne
7:11
White Sox are my pick
JL
7:11
The Orioles have to trade Mancini and Givens now right?
Connor Byrne
7:11
I'd do so in their shoes
Tyson
7:11
Could the Reds go after Cole?
Connor Byrne
7:12
They can shoot their shot, but they're not getting him
Ryan

Why would the brewers do Josh Hader for Corey Seager ??? Think that’s the opposite. As a brewers fan I’d bug out if the brewers traded Hader for a year or two of Seager
Connor Byrne
7:14
Admittedly, Hader does have more team control than I thought when I answered the original question. Four years versus Seager's two. Interesting.
Hugh Jassole
7:14
Does MadBum have more value to an NL team because of his bat? Will that be a factor?
Connor Byrne
7:14
I doubt it
Phillies
7:15
Give me a real cheap lefty starter they can sign w high upside
Connor Byrne
7:15
Alex Wood?
Braves in 2020
7:16
Melancon, Swanson, Drew Waters for Lindor?
Connor Byrne
7:16
No
Cubbie Fan

Thoughts on trading Bryant and signing Castro to play 3B?
