He's a good hitter, but he shouldn't be playing third base and the Mets already have Alonso/Smith in that 'corner bat who needs to play everyday' bucket
9:57
Doesn't mean I'd be dying to move Davis, but Bryant might be too good a player to pass up on since they're still not a lock to make the playoffs

What are your thoughts on Julio Rodriguez, Seattle OF?
Anthony Franco
9:58
I've never seen him play. But everyone who has says he's really good, his minor league numbers are incredible, and he seems like a really likable and charismatic person. I think he's a future star

Are there any CF candidates you expect to move today?
Anthony Franco

Nobody you'd want playing everyday. Jake Marisnick and Michael Taylor as depth types

Any gut feeling on Jonathan Schoop getting sent out?
Anthony Franco
10:00
I think he'll go. Seattle's my best guess
Clarke

What do you think AA and Atlanta does?
Anthony Franco
10:01
They've kind of lurked on the periphery of a bunch of different markets (corner outfield, starting pitching, bullpen). It's hard to pin down, but if I had to guess, I'll say they add another outfielder

As of this minute... who is your pick for the WS?
Anthony Franco
10:02
Astros over Brewers
10:03
Dodgers are the best team IMO, but there's a real chance they wind up in the Wild Card game, which could be terrifying for them
Milwaukee's coasting to the division title and has that elite pitching staff at the top to be more dangerous than I think most people expect
Mets
10:03
Thank you, Anthony!

Appreciate the kind words! Have to hop on to help Tim and Steve with the main feed now since stuff should start to really pick up soon
10:05
Thanks so much for all your support of the site and the good questions! I really enjoy doing these, since you often come up with stuff I hadn't really considered.
Enjoy deadline day and have a good weekend!
