The end is the beginning. The beginning is the end.
Connor Byrne
6:53
Finkle is Einhorn
Strike
6:54
Is a real possibility not to have a season next year?
Connor Byrne
6:54
As in, 2021? I mean, maybe if the COVID crisis worsens. Otherwise, the CBA will still be in effect then, so they're slated to play.
Jesse E
6:55
Can Cleveland compete with the Twins this year?
Connor Byrne
6:55
Yes. I'm not writing the Indians off. They still look like playoff contenders to me.
Angel Fan
6:56
Any incite as to why Moreno vetoed the last trade? I was looking forward to see Stibling
Connor Byrne
6:57
I don't recall Angels owner Arte Moreno giving an exact reason as to why the Stripling/Pederson trade collapsed. There was this: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/02/tony-clark-blasts-betts-swap-ho...
Kapler

Play Bart?
Connor Byrne
6:59
Pick up Bart
Sorry, I had to. Anyway...
7:00
It doesn't seem Joey Bart's going to get much MLB experience (if any) this year. The Giants are slow-cooking him.

7:01
How many potential MVPs are on the Cards? I count 7.  Goldy, Wong, Dejong, Carpenter, Molina, Bader and Flaherty.
Connor Byrne
7:02
I count zero, and I don't mean that as an insult. They've got a pretty good roster.
Tony Kemp
7:03
Just because I bat lefty, does that mean I should have more ABs than Baretto?
Connor Byrne
7:03
it would be nice to see Barreto sink or swim. Kemp's a 28-year-old replacement-level player.
DL
7:04
How well do you see Ohtani pitching in the short season coming off of TJ?
Connor Byrne
7:05
Ohtani's had some control problems of late, but that's to be expected coming off TJ surgery. I don't think the production will be where it was a couple years ago because of the layoff, but I still think he'll have a fine year. In the end, i just want him to stay healthy and gain some momentum heading into what will hopefully be a full 2021 season. He's such a treat to watch.
Chipper
7:06
Any news on my buddy Freddie Freeman?
Connor Byrne
7:07
He's doing better last I read, but no timetable for a return
Van Lingle Mungo
7:08
AL ROY? C'mon take a shot!
Connor Byrne
7:08
I admittedly haven't put a ton of thought into it, but Luis Robert's a logical pick
Ryan
7:09
Is King Felix a HOFer?
Connor Byrne
7:09
i think he's shy of it, which is a shame because he was on that trajectory for much of his career. Let's do another poll...
7:10
King Felix: HOFer?
Yes (17% | 15 votes)
 
No (83% | 73 votes)
 
Total Votes: 88
Me
7:10
Despite the supportive comments, do you think some teammates are mad at a guy like Kopech for opting out?
Connor Byrne
7:11
Maybe (I can't get into their heads), but if they are, that's unreasonable
Jorge78
7:11
Just heard about the subscription.  I signed up! Does it automatically make ads go away or do I have to log out of the phone app?
Connor Byrne
7:11
Thanks, Jorge! I believe they should go away automatically, but if not, you may want to email mlbtrwriters@gmail.com for help
White Sox Pitching staff
7:12
What do you think about that staff as a whole, now that we’ve seen some intrasquad games? There is a lot more depth there than last year. I think they are looking like they could give a lot of teams some trouble during this 60 game sprint.
Connor Byrne
7:13
More White Sox. It's obviously a less exciting group now that Kopech is gone, but if healthy, I like it. Giolito's great, Keuchel-Lopez-Gio are solid and Cease has a lot of upside
7:14
And I'm forgetting Rodon
7:15
Bullpen looks OK, not great
Giles
7:15
Do I want an extension?
Connor Byrne
7:15
Nick
7:16
One prospect that you were thought were can't miss .... who missed?
Connor Byrne
7:16
Mark Appel's a pretty easy answer
Mr Roctober
7:17
Bobby Bradley, Kevin Cron, Kyle Lewis -- who will hit more home runs this year?
Connor Byrne
7:17
I'll take Cron
bravesfansince1966
7:17
Do you think after awhile players that get covid19 will be treated like an injured player and teams will just say "Next Man Up" unless there is a mass breakout on a team?
