I think they're serious about fixing their rotation, but we'll see once the Cole/Strasburg decisions come in
Boras
7:53
I'm keeping Cashmans phone number to drive up cost. Heaven knows Gerrit doesnt want to pitch in that bandbox stadium in that division of bandboxes.
Connor Byrne
7:53
If the Yankees make the best offer, not sure Cole would say no because of their stadium. Cole is an elite SP, and I don't think he'd be scared of pitching there.
Wheeler
7:54
My wife is from New Jersey wanted to stay on East coast. Bundy wins more games then me next year
Connor Byrne
7:55
Eduardo Rodriguez won more games than Strasburg this year. What's your point?
Gerrit Cole
7:56
7 years $210 million sound right now?
Connor Byrne
7:56
More like 8/250-something
Halos
7:57
Isn't Kole Calhoun as good as Joc with a bat... and Kole can play ELITE RF too..plus hes cheaper and doesn't cost any prospects
Connor Byrne
7:58
You've got a point. I don't think they're all that dissimilar in terms of value, and it's not like Joc has a ton of team control to push him over the top.
Twins
7:58
Sign me some stating pitching please
Connor Byrne
7:58
Let me call up their front office and ask.
"OK, Connor. Will do!"-Derek Falvey
Mr. Dipoto
7:59
Will 8/250 get Cole to Seattle?
Connor Byrne
7:59
They'd be very much in the discussion, but knock me over with a feather if this happens
Wheeler Doubter
8:00
Is Wheeler even worth the contract? 11-8 record with a 3.96 ERA last year, and the Phillies are paying him 23.6 mill a year
Connor Byrne
8:00
Yes. Teams don't care about pitchers' records, nor do they simply evaluate based on ERA. Wheeler's one of the hardest throwers in the league, still pretty young and coming off a pair of highly productive seasons of 180-plus innings. I've got no beef with what the Phillies paid.
Rendon
8:01
Would the Dodgers do a 3/110 deal for Rendon?
Connor Byrne
8:02
Even if they would, can't see Rendon taking it when he can probably get a guarantee worth twice that much.
I'm annoying
8:02
I know I keep asking, but seriously, would Didi sign with the Braves or any team to play 3b?
Connor Byrne
8:03
I doubt it, but I also didn't think Moustakas or Pomeranz would come anywhere near their new deals, so ... maybe.
Miggle
8:04
Bold Prediction: Braves sign Rendon, Trade for Starling Marte
Connor Byrne
8:04
Sounds more like "Wishful Prediction" to me
Phil Feske
8:04
How, awesome it be 4 a Mlb FA like let's say Rendon, to come n this chat n announce where, he's signing nxt... Doubtful but, it be awesome...
Connor Byrne
8:05
"I understood cognitively that I needed to announce this decision in an MLBTR chat"-Rendon doing his Kevin Durant impression
Chris Archer
8:06
I’m better than Wheeler right?  You think Ben Cherrington will deal me?  Bidding war?
Connor Byrne
8:06
No, you're not, but I do expect the Pirates to trade you
Anthony Rendon
8:07
I'm here and I am announcing I am signing with the Rangers. Check Twitter tomorrow for terms.
Connor Byrne
8:08
Enjoy, Texas
Bill Murray
8:08
2020 AL/NL MVPs are...
Connor Byrne
8:08
Trout/Acuna
Survivor
8:08
One last question before Survivor starts:  Will Cubs keep Baez or deal him?
Connor Byrne
8:08
That show is still on?!? Keep.
SpicyBoy
8:09
If Bill Gates offers Anthony Rendon $400mm upfront to never player baseball ever again, does Rendon accept
Connor Byrne
8:10
"Buy him out, boys!"
Longest chat ever
8:10
Betances 1 year 8 mil sound right? And when does he sign?
Connor Byrne
8:10
We've got him at 1/7, so 1/8 certainly isn't nuts
DodgerFan
8:10
Verdugo, Stripling, Ruiz for Corey Kluber. who says no?
Connor Byrne
8:11
The Dodgers
Mike Trout
8:11
Is anyone else getting bored with how awesome I am every year?
Connor Byrne
8:11
I'm not
