Good afternoon!

Does Mancini move in the next hour???  If so, for what?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:03
I believe no.

Do the Orioles sell anything, or stand pat?  Everyone pretty controllable, can afford to wait.
AvatarDan Szymborski

They could theoretically trade Givens or Villar, though I haven't heard anything.
Though stuff tends to pop up super quickly.

Wrapping up a call with Eric to move around the prospects have gone already, will join shortly

Dubon replaces Panik as a starter = SFG is going for it, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:04
I think the Giants did it more thinking towards next year.
They didn't give up relievers they absolutely eneded after all
3:05
I think the chance to get Dubon for a couple of relievers (or a reliever and a bad starter) were just too much to pass up
I think 2020 might be more interesting.

Kyle Tucker off the table for sure?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:06
Nothing's ever for sure, but it's pretty much Thor or nothing when it comes to Tucker and the Astros probably wouldn't give a lot more than Tucker in such a case.
Nobody else I can see being good enough to trade for Tucker

Man- is anyone in the Elias deal someone who you’d find in a good bullpen ?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:07
Guilbeau is kinda interesting
3:08
His stuff was thin as a starter, but he's been much better since being converted to bullpen. Problem is he's barely touched AA.
Mid 90s fastball I believe, slider

What's a "fair" trade for Vazquez between the PIrates and the Dodgers?

Would Lux have to be included?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:08
Fair is a dirty word when it comes to closers.
I don't think the Dodgers are willing to trade Lux.
3:09
I *might* offer Ruiz to Pirates, say "that's it, just Ruiz, take it or leave it" and walk away if the Pirates don't grab it

Kiley! Tell me Dubon might be a starter!

What would the Cubs have to give to pry Merrifield from KC?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:09
It's not happening unless KC softens up from their demands.
The Cubs don't have a bunch of extra MLB guys just hanging around

The Indians should have asked for extra compensation to make up for Puig's impending suspension.
AvatarDan Szymborski

He got into the fight after the acquisition!

Thoughts on the Braves trading Allard?  He didn’t seem to have a future in Atlanta
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:10
I'm surprised they didn't get more for him, even though his stock has dropped

What team is Corey Dickerson on at 4:01pm and are you surprised there hasn't been much chatter about him? As far as rental OFs go, he's so consistent and an absolute professional hitter.
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:11
Totally cheating since it happened like two minutes after you asked the question, but totally Phillies :-)
3:12
Dickerson, IMO, is WAY more interesting than Castellanos
Roger
3:13
Are the Tigers going to be able to make any trades?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:13
I'm not sure. The Tigers tend to be gun shy making these types of trades and the meh package may make them back off and decide they rather just QO Castellanos
In which case, Castellanos will accept unless he's crazy

What do you think about Pom & Black for Dubon?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:14
I think Brewers a bit too generous.

By Baseruns, the Giants are much lousier than their record indicates. Is Zaidi really not gonna sell MadBum, Smith, etc.??
