The players want a universal DH and would probably be willing to give up something of financial value to the owners to get it

I don't think there's as much old-school opposition to the NL DH within the league as there once was. Particularly once it got adopted in 2020, it felt pretty inevitable to me

With Bostons surprising trade of Hunter Renfroe do they become suitors for Kris Bryant now?

After the Renfroe/JBJ trade, Chaim Bloom said he’d be intrigued by a RH bat. Aside from the free agents that are out there, who are some possible trade candidates that’d make sense?

I don't love Bryant as a fit with Devers at third, but it's not impossible to work him in around the outfield

Not a whole lot appealing from a trade perspective. Ha-Seong Kim stands out as a buy-low candidate for teams that liked him coming out of South Korea. I'm sure the A's and Orioles would listen on Chad Pinder and Ramon Urias, respectively

Rangers could move Kiner-Falefa

Those guys are all more utility types than true regulars though

Are the owners (and their staff) talking amongst themselves at a significant level about possible transactions post-lockout, either licitly or illicitly? Is it permitted to have discussions about trades?

Thoughts on the Renfroe/JBJ trade? I’m intrigued by the prospects as a Sox fan.
