For the Giants? Probably last. At best, second last.

How can anyone think Price is all that? Maeda had a better season than he did. More innings, more games, more strikeouts and a lower ERA and a WAR that was .1 behind Price. I do not think the Dodgers should even think of taking him of the Sox hands.
Connor Byrne
7:11
Price isn't bad. He's just overpaid. I do agree that Maeda's underrated, though.
Your name
7:12
Worst owner in baseball?  My vote goes tl Dolan.  17 straight years with below league average team salary.  Averaged 84 wins.  No title and they trades 3 Cy Young Winners in 13 years.  Just listen to that statement.  Absurd
Connor Byrne

Bob Nutting of the Pirates comes to mind

The Brewers quietly got a lot worse right? Lost 2 big offensive pieces in Grandal and Moose and still have a bum rotation
Connor Byrne
7:14
They look worse, but I also thought they were cooked last summer when Woodruff went down and they didn't add a big-time starter at the deadline. And then I thought they were cooked again when Yelich went down. They ended up in the playoffs.

Do you think Starlin Castro will do good for the nats
Connor Byrne
7:15
I think he'll be fine - similar to how Dozier was for them last season. If memory serves, Castro had a really good second half in 2019 after an awful first half.
Theo
7:15
Can we get Torres back if we offer the Yankees Bryant?
Connor Byrne
7:15
No
Chris Davis
7:16
Will I still be with the Orioles on August 1st?
Connor Byrne
7:16
I know he's still owed a lot of money, but when is enough enough? Time for the O's to identify a sunk cost soon. The answer to your question should be yes, assuming Davis continues to flounder.

Does have a cute user name make it easier for a person to get their question answered?
Connor Byrne
7:17
Not really. I don't pay much attention to usernames.
Dolan
7:17
Remind me, who do I own again?
Connor Byrne
7:18
the Indians
Denny Martinez
7:18
Connor can you suggest a center fielder the Cubs could keep an eye on around the trade deadline. Regardless of the hooplah about the payroll
Connor Byrne
7:18
I guess Jackie Bradley Jr, whom Theo Epstein knows from Boston
True Dodgers fan
7:19
Do u think the Dodgers have enough talent to with it all without any more upgrades?
Connor Byrne
7:19
Yes. They just won 106 games.
mmddyyyy
7:20
Do you read the chats of other writers?
Connor Byrne
7:20
I try to
when I have time
Cashman

Any word on the grievance against Ellsbury?
Connor Byrne
7:20
Not yet
Marcus

Whats the “biggest” transactuon that has broken during one of your live chats?
Connor Byrne
7:21
Not sure. Jeff Todd's typically handling the site when I'm chatting, so I've never been burdened with that sort of multitasking
Philly Guy
7:22
Philly is buzzing about a Jean Segura rumor to Reds? Any truth?
Connor Byrne
7:22
I've been asked about this a lot. It's news to me.
Alex
7:23
What caliber of prospect(s) would we have to attach to Happ to get a team like San Fran to take on his money for this season?
Connor Byrne
7:24
Probably one similar in value to Will Wilson, whom the Giants got for taking Cozart's 12 mill off the Angels' hands. Happ's $5MM more expensive, but at least he's still a useful big leaguer, unlike Cozart (later cut by the Giants)
Brandon
7:24
I'm not seeing much upside with any of Farhan's dumpster dive pick ups. Do I have any reason to even watch any giants games this year?
Connor Byrne
7:25
It's fun to look at that ballpark and listen to the Giants' broadcasting team, which may be the best in the game.
Royals
7:26
If Greg Bird is gonna get a minor league deal, wouldn't he be a better option than O'Hammer for the Royals?
Connor Byrne
7:27
I'd take a shot at him from the Royals' POV
Braves Fan
7:28
I think if Ozuna stays healthy he can do something very similar to what Donaldson did last year why does everyone see him as a downgrade?
Connor Byrne
7:29
I mean, maybe if the Ozuna from his last year as a Marlin happens to show up, but he has typically been an above-average player, not a great one (that isn't an insult). Donaldson was great or borderline great last season.
Cashmoney

Yanks win how many games this year
Connor Byrne
7:29
106
