How do you think they will handle Andrew painter
Mark P
8:40
Phillies might start him in Double-A as a warmup, look to promote him to Triple-A reasonably quickly, then if all goes well, Painter should hit the big leagues by perhaps the All-Star break in some capacity?

Teoscar 4/80? Or is his ancient 31 year old body going to limit him to three years?
Mark P

Early happy birthday to Teoscar, who turns 32 on Tuesday.

Four/$80MM was our projection for him last winter, actually, and that seems more feasible this year since he's coming off a far better year.
8:44
Three guaranteed years and an option could be the deal instead of a full four, but my guess is that someone ponies up for a fourth season

Has a date been given for the draft lottery?
Mark P

It happens during the Winter Meetings, which run from December 9-12 this year

Do you think Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton will have a much shorter leash this upcoming season after five straight losing seasons? I don't think either have done enough to warrant another full season with so little and disappointing development.

Cherington can point to Skenes and Jones as a sign that the rebuild is bearing fruit.  Obviously still a lot is needed on the hitting end, and if the Pirates still aren't winning or showing much more development in 2025, you wonder how much ownership will start getting impatient.

We're over two hours now, so let's wrap things up.  Thanks for all the questions tonight, and expect more chatting next weekend!
fyi, if you're interested in more baseball Q&A, one of the many benefits of our Trade Rumors Front Office subscription is the exclusive weekly live chats. The more limited field means you're about 10 times more likely to get a question answered, as opposed to battling for space with hundreds of other questions in today's chat. For more on our memberships, check out this link:
