I would definitely be in favor of a return of the Crime Dog.

Barry

3:09

Do you think Zach Britton will get traded? And who to?

Jeffrey Todd

3:09

I lean no.

But all the talk from Duq could be just drawing a line in the sand -- if you want him, bring a big offer.

Rick

3:10

Any chance the White Sox move Carlos Rodon?

Jeffrey Todd

3:10

If a big offer came in nothing's off the table, but I wouldn't expect it. They are in a good position to let him try to reach his ceiling.

Buddy

3:10

Speaking of sleeper teams and the Phillies...Why not?

Jeffrey Todd

3:10

Yes, they could always go big with a few moves and suddenly look like a possible contender.

Fearful in DC

3:11

Are we only a few years away from a faceplant and nosedive like the Phils? Or did we plan things better?

Jeffrey Todd

3:11

Look to be in solid shape for the future. Hard to guess about further out, but their long-term contracts are performing at the moment and there's still young/affordable talent at the MLB level and coming up behind.

3:13

Going to try to grab a few more here and I have to run. It is Christmas tree night at the Todd residence.

Braves FML

3:13

Who is your favorite old school player that was playing when you were growing up?

Jeffrey Todd

3:13

Honestly ... it was probably Rafael Palmeiro.

Cookie Monster

3:14

Who's the nicest baseball player you've ever interacted with?

Jeffrey Todd

3:14

Burke Badenhop and Andrew Miller were exceedingly friendly when I chatted with them on the pod. Everyone I spoke with was polite, though.

O's in MT

3:15

Think Profar gets moved at the winter meetings?

Jeffrey Todd

3:15

Still my expectation, yeah. I mean, at some point, not necessarily the WM. Thought the Jays were a solid fit, though, for same basic reasons they got Diaz.

Gavin Kentle

3:16

Jeff do the Halos make a trade for a power 2nd baseman?

Jeffrey Todd

3:16

Don't think they'd focus on power, specifically. Still loads of options.

Gabe

3:17

Three finger brown making a come back?

Jeffrey Todd

3:18

Mordecai will also add switch-pitching to his arsenal to make use of his good hand.

steve

3:18

Is Colin Moran enough for 1 year of Kelvin Herrera?

Jeffrey Todd

3:18

Eh. He's disposable for Houston, probably, but depends upon what the Royals want -- solid, cheap piece or further-off upside. And of course whether they actually like Moran.

3:19

I don't think Herrera will get a huge return, b/c he showed some real cracks last year, but then again he is a nice value proposition on a one-year commitment so there should be plenty of interest from teams that don't want to pay top FAs or give up loads for younger closers.

Jake

3:19

Why does it seem like there isn’t a market for Moose?

Jeffrey Todd

3:20

Honestly I don't see a ton of really clear fits. But generally, he's just a few pegs down the list of the top guys and the whole market is slow.

Okay folks, I have to hang up here.

3:21

Good times as always. I ... will have to think about when I'm chatting next, I guess. Probably next Thursday but who knows, maybe we'll do a surprise extra tomorrow or Friday or something
