Why isn't McGriff in the hall of fame?
Connor Byrne
7:20
I'd put him there.
Tebow
7:20
I’m making the majors this year right?
Connor Byrne
7:21
Nothing screams "major league promotion" like a 32-year-old who posted a 26 wRC+ in Triple-A last season.
7:22
And I don't want to be a jerk about it. Tebow seems like a nice guy, and good for him for trying his hand at baseball. He's just not a major leaguer.
I'm ready for Baseball
7:22
Happy 4th of July.  Don't blow yourself up.
Connor Byrne
7:23
And to you and the rest who celebrate. Luckily, fireworks/crackers aren't my thing. I'm no Jason Pierre-Paul.

Are players from outside the US going to have problems getting into the US with all the restrictions out there?
Connor Byrne
7:24
Fernando Romero of the Twins is facing this problem.
Zach
7:25
MLB leader in HRs will hit ___ this year.
Connor Byrne
7:26
It's tough to say, obviously. Season length aside, is the ball still going to be juiced (allegedly)? In any case, i'll guess 22, which is a high-50s pace over a full season.

Are you sure Trout's not a fluke?
Connor Byrne
7:28
Flukiest 73-WAR 28-year-old of all-time
Angel Fan
7:28
Does Upton have a "No Trade" contract??
Connor Byrne
7:28
He does have a full no-trade clause.

Who is in the outfield for the Astros next season? Brantly, Springer, and Reddick are all FA. Do you think any of those three will resign? Or do they do something completely off our radar right now? Tucker could probably take a corner spot but Myles Straw should probably be a fourth OF
Connor Byrne
7:30
I've gotta believe Tucker will finally get a real shot. I expect Springer to walk. Guess I could see Brantley staying if his demands aren't too much, but I'd let Reddick walk.
Alan
7:30
Are the Wilpons finally selling? It seems we are in the end game now.
Connor Byrne
7:31
Yes, it appears the Mets will be changing hands soon: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/06/mlb-pre-approves-7-bidding-grou...
Casa de mi Padres
7:31
Who gets George Springer?
Connor Byrne
7:31
Wild guess way in advance: the Rangers.
CaptainDunsel
7:32
I am not carping about it, but someday Trout will eventually flounder.
Connor Byrne
7:32
He'll get salmonella and never be the same again (more like Tim Salmonella)
Clayton Kershaw
7:33
Which long shot team has best chance to get into playoffs?
Connor Byrne
7:34
It depends on your definition of "long shot." Are the Red Sox long shots? Otherwise, teams like the Padres, White Sox, Angels, Phillies seem like fringe types that could do well enough over 60 games
Chris
7:35
Does Yadi finish his career with the Cardinals?
Connor Byrne
7:35
I'll say yes, though the Cards do have a couple good young heir apparents in Andrew Knizner and Ivan Herrera
Momark
7:37
will the players doing social distancing in the stands talk to the cardboard fans or will they get into arguments the stiff guys and gals?
Connor Byrne
7:37
Ty Cobb would jump into the stands and beat the hell out of some cardboard guy for looking at him funny
7:38
And with that, I'm going to call it a chat. We'll talk again next Wednesday a 7 ET. Thanks to everyone for reading/participating!
