Who do you think is going to get the majority in saves for Miami after the Romo trade? Anderson? Guerrero? Even Jose Quijada?

Dan Szymborski

3:41

I think Nick Anderson has first dibs

Kiley McDaniel

3:41

some of you will be so mad in about 20 minutes that's when this will go up a notch

mama szym and mama mcD

3:41

BOYS WE WERE TALKING AND WE NEED AN UPDATE ON THESE GRANDCHILDREN

Kiley McDaniel

3:42

i made some mexican style burgers so i'm eating well gramma

laxtonto

3:42

MAKE MORE TRADES!!!!

jim

3:42

Which side of the Chisholm-Gallen trade do you prefer?

Kiley McDaniel

3:42

Eric and I tend to lean upside and hitters and performers and up the middle types, so Chisholm is more up our alley

Dan Szymborski

3:43

Tayron has been generally used in a lot of low leverage situations lately -- he can be erratic -- and I suspect he's not next in line for saves

Kiley McDaniel

3:43

Melancon to the Braves now as well

plus Greene and the dude from Coldplay so that's something

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

3:43

If GMs could trade themselves, would they ever?

Kiley McDaniel

3:44

Jerry would trade himself, then reacquire himself then trade himself in the same trade as the GMTBNL

James

3:44

What's a mexican style burger?

Dan Szymborski

3:44

Passan has Braves picking up Melancon

Kiley McDaniel

3:45

I'm leaving tomorrow for a HS showcase so I had ground beef, cotija cheese, corn tortilla, onions, scallions, valentina hot sauce and avocado

so I put them all together

John

3:45

Murphy acquisition an indication that Alex Jackson is in play?

Dan Szymborski

3:45

Naw, I think it's just depth

laxtonto

3:45

Did Texas just decide not to come into work today?

Dan Szymborski

3:45

I think the Rangers feel they don't *have* to trade anyone right now.

Kiley McDaniel

3:46

William Contreras goes on the 40-man next year as well and Flowers has a cheap option, so they have some 2020 catching depth in Atlanta

3:46

Does something like tucker davidson and alex jackson or demeritte or someone sound like the right return for greene?

Kiley McDaniel

3:46

all three of those would maybe work, but I think DET could shoot for a better headliner

keeks

3:46

Could the Mets move Bobby Bonilla's contract in a last minute deal here?

Dayton Moore Talking Head

3:46

How much of Ian Kennedy's contract should the Royals being willing to eat? (not that they will)

Dan Szymborski

3:47

For prospects? Every last red cent. I'd rather use that money to buy prospects than pay Kennedy to close games on a lousy team.

Percy Miracles

3:47

Kylie, what are your thoughts on Stroman "haul" fro the Jays? Forget what the Indians got for Bauer, it seems like Texas got more for a rental reliever than what the Jays got

Kiley McDaniel

3:47

that's false, Allard is a 40 FV at this point, SWR is a 45+ FV and Kay is a 45 FV

Kiley momma

3:47

Kiley now honey remembs to scrub behind ur ears cuz dirt accumulates there. kthx

Kiley McDaniel

3:48

thanks mom ugghhh not in the chat

Steve

3:48

Can we trade Dan and Kiley for two other FanGraphs staffers please? Boom roasted just kidding you guys are great, thanks for chatting.

Fire Ken Tremendous

3:48

I'm here to offer hot takes

Kiley McDaniel

3:48

no that's my role, guy

LFC Mike

3:48

Kiley....Please clear with Dan if that was a sandwich you ate with a corn tortilla. He is very sandwich sensitive...

Kiley McDaniel

3:49

I took the burger in chunks and ate it like a taco and a taco...is not a sandwich? I forget what my initial opinion was on this topic like 10 years ago

Shin Soo Choo Choo Train

3:49

why havent the rangers traded minor and pence? Pence's renaissance feels like Kemp last year, and minor won't have a MAJOR impact on the rangers ROS

Dan Szymborski

3:49

They don't *have* to trade Minor right now. Given the prospects going around, they may feel underwhelmed

3:50

Pence wasn't going to be traded.

Shin Soo Choo Choo Train

3:50

if mexican style hamburgers were a soup would Dan eat them at a ballpark?
