They'd have a shot, but still wouldn't be my pick
Dominic

Mets over under 90 wins?
Connor Byrne
6:52
A bit under. Pretty good roster, though.
Grayson
6:52
Favorite commercial from last night?
Connor Byrne
6:53
The Bryan Cranston "The Shining" ad was one of the good ones
Rosie Red
6:53
Should the Reds get a shortstop?
Connor Byrne
6:54
Yeah, but who? I had them as the most logical Gregorius team entering the winter, but that ship sailed long ago. Lindor's probably not happening. Seager and Story look like extreme long shots.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
6:54
Anything happening on Hader?  I thought Yankees were in on him but nothing in last month.  Is that dead?
Connor Byrne
6:55
He doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Maybe the Brewers will reassess if they're out of it at the trade deadline.
Al Avila

Colin McHugh. Taijuan Walker. These are the types of players the Tigers should be pursuing. Instead we get Jordy Mercer, Hector Santiago, and IVAN NOVA! Do you have any idea what drugs I am smoking. When will the nightmare end???
Connor Byrne
6:57
On paper, I don't disagree (and that goes for a lot of teams), but I say that without knowing the health of McHugh and Walker
Bob
6:57
Will the rays make the playoffs
Connor Byrne
6:58
I expect them to. They won 96 games last year despite limited contributions from Snell and Glasnow.
HOF
6:58
Do you think Mark McGwire should be in the hall? I do.
Connor Byrne
6:58
Yes
Ghost of DePodesta

Oh joy another Betts trade question!!!  Any chance the BSox let Eovaldi go with Betts?  Seems a happy compromise for both sides.  Dodgers pay $17M for 3 years as opposed to $31M, and the BSox get better players in return.  Would love to have Eovaldi backing up Jansen.
Connor Byrne
6:59
There's been nothing said about Eovaldi going anywhere - not that I've seen, anyway - so I doubt it
Kevin Cash
6:59
I should have been the AL Manager of the year last year, right?
Connor Byrne
6:59
You'd have been a fine pick - same with Boone - but so was Baldelli
Mr October
6:59
Wouldn't the A's be a candidate to sell high on the last year of Marcus Semien?  Would the Reds be interested?
Connor Byrne
7:00
Yes and yes, but the A's are a really good team with title aspirations, so I don't see Semien moving unless they fall on their faces over the season's first couple months

Why di the dodgers FO get so much slack??? Theyve built a team and farm that will sustain winning for a long time. Yeha i get they havent won a WS but they make the playoffs every year and make deep runs. Other fanbases would kill for that.
Connor Byrne
7:02
If you're saying the Dodger FO has become somewhat underrated, I agree.
Fan
7:03
Cards good enough to win central
Connor Byrne
7:03
I could see everyone but the Pirates winning that division. It looks wide open.
Astros fan
7:04
Did Astros not sign a bigger back of the rotation free agent hoping Whitley will eventually take spot this season?
Connor Byrne
7:04
Counting on Whitley would be pretty dangerous after the 2019 he had.
Ben Cherrington
7:04
Luke Voit and Miguel Andujar for Josh Bell. Is that enough?
Connor Byrne
7:04
No
Matt B
7:05
Do the Twins have enough pieces for a World Series run? If not, what are they missing?
Connor Byrne
7:05
They're one of the top teams, but the need for more high-end rotation help is obvious
Red Sovine
7:06
It could be worse than Barnhart and Galvis, no?  At leadt they can play some good D.  Rest of that lineup is purty stout.
Connor Byrne
7:06
They're not hopeless. I'd just liked to have seen the Reds go bigger at those spots (Grandal, Gregorius, for instance)
ColeLovesTheNats
7:07
Whats are the nationals options at third base?
Connor Byrne
7:07
Probably Asdrubal Cabrera until C. Kieboom's ready
Eppler
7:08
Is there any trade value in Tommy La Stella? I love the guy but I don't see him winning a job over Fletch, Simba, or Rendon.
Connor Byrne
7:08
Not much, but he has value to the Angels as a versatile, affordable guy who hit well last year
Bear
7:08
Betts gets traded before the weekend? Best guess
Connor Byrne
7:09
I'll say yes
Buster
7:10
What place will be finished in the National League West?
