JD Martinez
7:28
Given the FA market the past two years, do you think he should opt out?
Connor Byrne
7:28
I'd probably stay put in his shoes, but then again, Scott Boras could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves (congrats if you get this reference)
Buffalo Rocks!
7:28
Um the Bills just 2 yrs ago made the playoffs! So u do know what playoffs are like!
Connor Byrne
7:29
A fleeting experience in which they mustered three points.
Dom M.
7:29
Greg Bird a 2020 All-Star?
Connor Byrne
7:29
Maybe in Triple-A
Brandon
7:29
Chances Yelich still wins NL MVP?
Connor Byrne
7:29
Still pretty good. Hard to penalize him for an injury after the numbers he put up.
Julio
7:30
The Bravos sign Teheran, right?
Connor Byrne
7:30
He has a $12MM option (or a $1MM buyout). As of now, I expect the Braves to exercise it.

Did Mike Trout have a say in today's decision regarding Brad Asmus?
Connor Byrne
7:30
I seriously doubt it, and Trout's not the type of guy to push a manager out anyway.
Dodger fan
7:31
Thoughts on madbum sitting it out yesterday
Connor Byrne
7:31
Totally fine. Nothing to gain by pitching him in a meaningless game.
Stupidhead
7:31
I'm an idiot.  Do I get a managing job?

Michael Kopech
7:32
Can I have a bounce back year next season coming off TJ?  15 wins doable?
Connor Byrne
7:32
Of course. Kopech is a premier young arm, and plenty have bounced back well from TJ surgery.
Kristen
7:33
Does TEX trade Minor and/or Lynn this offseason or are they going to try to contend next year?
Connor Byrne
7:33
Minor seems likelier to go if they can't extend him. However, with a new ballpark opening, maybe the Rangers really want to push for a playoff return in 2020. If so, I think they'll be in on the Coles and Rendons of the world.
Adam Jupiter Preller
7:34
How bad does my decision to have Fernando Tatis Jr on the roster to start the season look now?
Connor Byrne
7:34
What's bad about it? Less service-time manipulation? He was clearly MLB-ready. I applaud the Padres for having him on the team from the outset.
Lindor
7:35
WIll I be traded this offseason and become a Yankee?
Connor Byrne
7:35
Yes, no.
True Dodger Blue
7:35
Are the Dodgers players for Anthony Rendon?
Connor Byrne
7:36
They'll at least kick the tires, I think.
Desert Dan
7:36
Is their a favorite for Boston GM?  Is Mookie gone no matter who is GM?
Connor Byrne
7:37
1. Not that I know of. 2. No, but I do think he'll ultimately be dealt.
Baseball Dude
7:37
Does Austin Hays make the Orioles Opening Day roster?
Connor Byrne
7:37
He should.
Lindor
7:37
where do you think im going to then? Buster Olney reported   Yankees interested trading for me if Didi signed elsewhere
Connor Byrne
7:37
I'm sure the Yankees would be interested, as many other teams would be.
AL Central
7:38
Are the Twins a regression candidate and if so, should a team like the Chi Sox go for the gusto in free agency in a down year in the divison?
Connor Byrne
7:38
I'm not betting on the Twins winning 100-plus again, but that's clearly an exceptionally talented team. I think the ChiSox should be aggressive in FA/trades, regardless.
Scott Boras
7:39
Does former agent BVW survive his second year as GM? Yah or Nay?
Connor Byrne
7:39
Can't see the Mets ending the Brodie Van Wagenen experiment after their second-half turnaround. Callaway looks like a goner, though.
Next Man Up
7:40
Where do all these “next Man Up” players that made up the Yankees band of misfits this year like Tauchman, Ford, Maybin end up? Anyone back another year in Pinstripes?
Connor Byrne
7:41
Tauchman's out of options, so it's either Yankees outfield or another MLB team's outfield for him. Ford's still optionable. Maybin probably walks in free agency, this time for a guaranteed deal.
Rays Fan
7:41
Can we keep this up next year or were we unbelievably lucky?
Connor Byrne
7:42
They'll stay in the hunt, as they're an incredibly well-run team. They won 96 this year despite abbreviated seasons from two front-line starters in Snell and Glasnow.
