Not going to happen but you could argue for Khris Davis ... more likely he'll work out some kind of 2 or 3-year deal with the A's
Shelby Miller seems likely to be axed, if he counts.
Victor Victor Mesa

Can we start calling you Jeff Jeff Todd?  Jeffrey Jeff Todd?  JJ Todd?
Jeffrey Todd

Jeffrey Jeff has a ring
RoxTalks

Rockies rotation getting close to elite?
Jeffrey Todd
4:34
Not really seeing that, no. Above-average, sure. Maybe even "very good." But barring some wild new developments ... not seeing it as a borderline elite.
Jungle Jim piatz

What do the Cubs do with russell can't just cut him loose right?
Jeffrey Todd
4:34
They can and they might.
Will surely explore trades first.
Abreu
4:34
I hit .265 to lead the team in qualifying average and you think we can just pick a few players and make it?   No way we are no where close
Jeffrey Todd
4:35
Whoa whoa whoa I am not suggesting they are "close." I'm just saying that the division is a total mess and the White Sox have a lot of assets to work with -- open payroll now and in the future as well as lotsa prospects, some of whom could impact the team and some of whom could be dealt.
4:36
It's very rare that the door is this wide open in a division, that's all.

How do you respond to people who still rail about how much money baseball players make compared to teachers?  Tell me verbatim what Jeff Todd would say to these jabronies.
Jeffrey Todd
4:36
The vast majority of baseball players make less than teachers.
Rockies Fan

How much does DJ get on the open market?

Prospect wise pure baseball where does he rate? At some point the kid deserves to move on from a crime / Mistake of his childhood.
Jeffrey Todd
4:39
Y'know, there are plenty of fields that become closed off if you do certain things. Our choices have consequences. I teach my kids that.
4:40
It could be that it is acceptable that organizations that hire athletes to perform and entertain for the public will not put him in their uniforms and on their fields in front of millions of spectators.
4:41
I'm not going to spend much time on this, but it sort of drives me nuts that some people (not necessarily the person that asked this) think it's worth so much of their time and energy to advocate for him and act like he's aggrieved. He got a degree from a university and was a star player there. He can do other things. Hopefully he really has learned from whatever happened. But why is he deserving of this outpouring when there are so many others so much worse off ... including many people wrongly convicted, etc, who don't have the social status to get back on their feet at all?
Statman
4:42
Do you stat guys watch playoff baseball or just still look at your computer screens?
Jeffrey Todd
4:42
Not really a stat guy, per se, but ... both since I watch it on my computer.
Smarter than the average Berra

Going to daughter's soccer match -- please tell me you don't have a minivan! I want to think of you as cool.
Jeffrey Todd
4:43
Hey if you have a family you have certain obligations. But I still have my old '97 F-150 ... which will one day be replaced by an electric car or just bikes and my feet.
4:44
I also take my kids to karate and to go rock climbing and mountain biking and such. Hopefully that redeems me somewhat, but I am pained to have let you down, ha.

Does Adam Jones accept a platoon role and might the Angels seek to pair him with Calhoun in RF?
Jeffrey Todd
4:45
Could imagine that fit at first glance. Think he has to accept a reserve/platoon role if he wants to keep playing.
Don't be that parent
4:45
That ruins kids games.
Jeffrey Todd
4:45
I was joking! (Mostly)
I do try to encourage my kids to get after it and try hard ... also to be good sports, etc.

How does Johnny Venters not win SportingNews comeback player of the year??? 3 and a half Tommy Johns not enough to comeback from???
Jeffrey Todd
4:46
Agree
A.J.P.

Do I get  4/68?
Jeffrey Todd
4:46
Sounds about right
Mike Hunt
4:47
Not sure why folks think you are an expert on who gets paid what or who get's DFA'd.
Jeffrey Todd
4:48
Not that I disagree entirely, but I'm not sure why you seem to think you're an expert on whether or not I'm an expert (or even what the folks on here think of me).
Fact is, I am not operating on insider info, for the most part. I observe and follow the market closely, and write on it. I like to think I have a fairly good sense of the market based upon experience and attention. If that qualifies as expertise, perhaps I have some.
4:49
But you won't find me laying claim to special status. My arguments aren't worth more than anyone else's.
Let's get back to making up contracts tho ...
Freddy Galvis

What do you think my contract ends up looking like?
