Let's say Reyes is not the answer. What do the Mets do? Is there a 1B rental that would upgrade Loney or is the plan to just wait for Duda?

Jeffrey Todd

3:17

Hard to imagine Reyes will be the answer, but we'll see. Don't think they saw it that way. Plug a hole, roll the dice, re-assess late July.

Totally Stan

3:18

What's the best MiLB part you've ever been to?

Jeffrey Todd

3:18

Been to very few. Frederick Keys for nostalgia - went there a lot as a kid.

All-Star Billy

3:18

If you're going to San Diego for the ASG, which restaurant/bar do you visit first?

Jeffrey Todd

3:19

Wish I knew the city well enough to say. Only been once.

Nate

3:19

Best pitcher you could see traded at the deadline?

Jeffrey Todd

3:19

At this point, Gray/Teheran seem the ceiling.

Kevin

3:19

Let's talk Anthony Desclafani. Decent building block (#3 SP for years), possible trade chip next year In the Fister, Niese mold, or true reliever masquerading as an SP?

Jeffrey Todd

3:20

Let it play itself out. Those 2 pitches are nice.

@MarcCarig
Sandy says to expect decision by Harvey before the break. Sure sounds like there's a compelling argument to do surgery.

Wow, this is coming soon folks. Crazy.

Joe

3:20

Should I have traded Harvey in my dynasty league?

Jeffrey Todd

3:21

Yes, and I'm wishing I hadn't bought low on him in the MLBTR league!

Sadbravesfan

3:21

Any hope for next year?

Jeffrey Todd

3:22

Would take a remarkable emergence of numerous young players. Not really.

Ross

3:22

Sonny Gray and Reddick to the Nationals for Lucas Giolito, Trea Turner, and A.J. Cole?

Jeffrey Todd

3:22

Maybe last year. Gio/Trea are MLB options now, dont see them moving.

Some Guy

3:22

Does David Ortiz have stand any chance of winning the MVP, assuming he continues being the best hitter in the MLB this year?

Jeffrey Todd

3:23

Man, that would be hard not to do if he keeps this up. Trout on a losing team. That'd be truly remarkable.

Ol Perfesser

3:23

I am 63 will I ever see the Yankees in another World Series if I live till I am 80?

Jeffrey Todd

3:24

If I had to put money on it, heck yes. And great handle, old timer!

Kevin

3:24

What's your hunch on Gurriel? I'm going with SF. Duffy can become a super UT guy with all the injury prone guys on that team he'd be super useful in that role

Jeffrey Todd

3:24

Yeah if they see him as LF option could make some good sense.

Ol Perfesser

3:25

Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio

Jeffrey Todd

3:25

See? This is why you respect your elders.

Brian Dozier

3:25

Any chance I get to play for a contender instead of the hapless twins? I have a cheap contract and am controllable.

Jeffrey Todd

3:26

Think they keep him - that's why they did the extension.

Big Papa Pump

3:26

Do the Cubs surprise people and get a starter and a reliever? Hammels last couple of years scares me

Jeffrey Todd

3:27

Maybe, but there are some swingman types for depth. Unless you get a guy who's going to start a playoff series, maybe not worth it.

Dave P

3:27

Why wouldn't someone claim Miller at $4.35M with 2 more controllable years? Bad year yes, but 29 teams claim him if waived..

Jeffrey Todd

3:27

Yeah that's cheaper than I realized. Either way, revocable waivers.

3:28

But you're right, I was getting carried away on a side tangent.

Grayson

3:28

Why are people so high on Kluber? He's been pretty bad since winning the Cy young.

Jeffrey Todd

3:28

You have mighty high standards.

Zach

3:28

Sorry, poor choice of words. Meant with MLB rules when it comes to int'l signees. Is ARZ on the hook for the 16 mill or is there some relief if players flee the team the way he has tried to twice, now?

Jeffrey Todd

3:29

Oh I see. If he quits ... would depend how contract is structured.

Frankly I don't know.

Jory

3:30

Denver misses you

Jeffrey Todd

3:30

Miss u back.
