Jared Hughes or David Hernandez get moved???
Jeffrey Todd

Guessing not ... Reds will value their cheap salaries for next year and I don't know that other clubs are going to fully buy into them at this stage of their careers.

Do I actually need a CF at this point to replace Inciarte?  If so, who?
Jeffrey Todd
4:43
Check his BABIP. It's just a normal rise and fall situation, in all likelihood. No reason at this point to change the evaluation.

I’ve heard zero rumors concerning the Braves and any trade targets aside from machado. They have a major need for bullpen help and could possibly use a SP, 3B, or good bench player. Anything out there I haven’t heard or are there any legitimate targets they seem to be interested in?
Jeffrey Todd

Maybe they are running a quiet shop in Atlanta? Truthfully I do think they are probably laying back somewhat, hoping to find good value. They know there's a real opportunity to try to capitalize on here, but they don't have the flexibility that the Phillies do, for example.

Why aren’t contending teams contacting the Rangers about Chirinos?
Jeffrey Todd
4:45
Perhaps they have. But whopping K rate. And reputedly valued quite a bit by the Rangers. Under control for next year. So I guess he stays.

Couple more here and I have to run ...

Where do the Angels go from here?  They are far back in the race and they have very few trade chips.
Jeffrey Todd
4:46
Correct.
4:47
So ... well, not much they can do but hope for a miracle down the stretch and better next year.
I mean you can always explore repositioning trades and see if someone else will go wild for one of your guys, but ...

As soon as I hit send I said aloud "Bonds!"

Thank you for acknowledging this, ha.

Can I get in on this retired home run derby?
Jeffrey Todd

Wait what?

Love these chats, my work schedule prohibits me from get to them sadly. If Seattle continues to play well, do you think Jerry summons his inner Bill Bavasi and makes a possibly franchise altering trade like the Adam Jones misstep?
Jeffrey Todd

Thanks!

Not sure I really see that ... in large part b/c I think they mostly like the roster, much of which was hand-picked by Dipoto and co. I guess you could argue for a big add in the rotation or outfield, but no particular reason to think they'd do something that would look immediately regrettable. (There aren't any Machado-ish rental players in the areas of need for SEA.)

Yo jeffrey, not baseball related but you think Kobe should come out of retirement to help me out on the court ? Yes or no
Jeffrey Todd

As someone who doesn't really watch basketball at all but does like the game and enjoys seeing the drama from afar? 100% yes

Any Pirate deals you foresee as more likely than not. Thank you.

Bye bye to Mercer? Could see someone wanting Freese. Otherwise not much they have to do. Could shop Nova and maybe Cervelli.
Okay all, I have to get on outta here!
Thanks for the fun chat, I am in a much better mood now than when I started. Hopefully the same for y'all. Talk again next week!
