Connor Byrne

In fairness to the Brewers' David Stearns, he doesn't control the budget. I'm sure if he had his druthers, he'd spend more.
Reinsdorf
2:19
white Sox will open will Kopech in minor leagues and Cease at #4 and nobody wants Reynaldo Lopez starting at #5
Connor Byrne
2:20
There are still some pretty decent starters out there. I could easily see the White Sox taking a one-year flyer on someone.
I think we predicted Paxton would go there. That would be interesting.
TomT
2:21
Is a strike after the 2021 season almost inevitable
Connor Byrne
2:21
I expect some sort of work stoppage, considering neither side can seem to agree on anything.
Baseball Dude
2:22
Amed Rosario going to be traded to Reds, to anyone?
Connor Byrne
2:22
The Reds do make sense because of their unwillingness to spend, not to mention the lack of non-Gregorius options on the open market.
Beane counter
2:22
Did Josh Reddick retire?  His name has not come up in any free agent discussions.
Connor Byrne
2:23
No, but if he continues playing, he'll have to settle for a pretty modest deal. The Royals have said they want a lefty-hitting outfielder, so I could see him there.
Pat in Halifax
2:23
Walker back to Toronto for 1yr 10mill right?
Connor Byrne
2:23
I'm skeptical of Taijuan Walker, but that deal would be fine.
Fan Base
2:24
Which fan bases ask the most questions?  From what I read I would guess Toronto, both New Yorks, Boston, and Los Angeles Angels? Am I accurate?
Connor Byrne
2:24
That's mostly right. Off the top of my head, I'd add the Chicago teams.
Patrick
2:24
Any word on Joc Pederson?  Seems like a good buy-low candidate for a team like Cleveland who is desperate for cheap power.  Or, do you think he is holding out for more $$, and that teams will pay for the 2019 version of him?
Connor Byrne
2:25
Giants were said to have interest yesterday. I think he'll prove too pricey for Cleveland.
John
2:25
If no universal DH is implemented is Osuna forced to sign in the AL?
Connor Byrne
2:26
Not sure I'd say "forced," as the uni DH will probably come in during the next CBA. So, if a team is willing to stick it out for a year with Ozuna as a defender, he could easily stay in the NL.
RottieZeus
2:26
Do you see the White Sox acquiring a OF/DH on a 1 year deal?
Connor Byrne
2:27
If for some reason Cruz doesn't re-sign in Minny, the White Sox could deliver a major blow to a division rival by adding him. To answer your question, it's definitely possible.
DBacks
2:27
Will the Dbacks do anything to improve their roster this offseason?
Connor Byrne
2:28
Doesn't seem like they'll be doing anything of significance. They're just hoping their roster from last year bounces back, basically. Good luck with that in a division with the Dodgers and Padres.
NoName

Can Joc play centerfield....asking for Mets Fans
Connor Byrne
2:28
He has, but it's been a few years since he has done so for an extended period of time.
1 move
2:29
Favorite single move of the offseason so far?
Connor Byrne
2:29
Probably the Darvish acquisition for San Diego
Astros
2:29
Lance McCullers for Andrew Benintendi who says no?
Connor Byrne
2:30
Boston. McCullers only has a year of control left. You trade Benintendi, it probably has to be for prospects.
Blackbeard
2:30
Argh...do me Pirates win 60 games this year?
Connor Byrne
2:30
Don't think so
Jed Hoyer
2:31
Kris Bryant for Drew Waters. Who says no?
Connor Byrne
2:31
Definitely Atlanta
Anoint the Voit
2:31
Are the Yankees done for the offseason?
Connor Byrne
2:31
Probably done with anything major. Could still see them adding another reliever on a guaranteed deal.
Phillies Baseball
2:32
Saw on Hot Stove yesterday that with JT back to the Phils, they now have 5 players over 20M per year, including SS Jean Segura. If Didi comes back to Philly, does Segura get moved to a SS needy team? Or if they go K. Wong, who they have been rumored to, is Girardi okay with Jean at SS everyday?
Connor Byrne
2:33
I expect Segura to stay there, and I read the other day PHI doesn't really want to put him back at short.
Mark Shapiro
2:33
With my comment saying the Jays have done the bulk of our major lifting does that mean any major additions are out of the question now?
Connor Byrne
2:33
I'm not buying that just yet
Captain Canada
2:34
Blue Jays winning AL East?
Connor Byrne
2:34
Very possible. It's going to be a three-team race.
