Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's Piscotty
Giant Gonzales

Any reason to think that JDM couldn't handle first base? Doesn't make sense for Boston to sign him and then have to move JBJ just to make space
Eno Sarris
1:29
This is what I would want to do.
Jose
1:29
With Ozuna to the Cards and the Red Sox dangling JBJ, seems like the market for Hosmer's drying up. What's your guess for his contract now?
Eno Sarris
1:30
Someone asked me a different version of this. What contract would you like for Hosmer. 4/80 I think I'd be fine with that.

Daniel Norris: if forced to choose between serviceable SP or garbage, you select....
Eno Sarris
1:31
I just put a trade out for his services. There's still some stuff there.
Chris Tracy

It's only taken a year for the Cubs to be the best and deepest team, to being passed by several teams and now the depth is gone and there's a limit on how much they can spend. Is there anything they can do to catch the Yanks, Astros and Dodgers? Or is 2016 all there's going to be?
Eno Sarris
1:31
They are still very good and very deep and they just signed a depth pitcher and they will get another and a reliever probably and I wouldnt panic even if this sentence is very long and doesn't contain punctuation.

Eno, Dave called you out for drunken shenanigans last night. What dirty laundry of Dave’s would you like to share in response?
Eno Sarris
1:32
I mean I wear my stupidity proudly. I don't think he aired anything I wouldn't.
E
1:32
Where were you at 3am last night?
Eno Sarris
1:32
I didn't know
Roadhog
1:32
I like Darvish on the Twins, so I hope that happens. Bring back Chris Gimenez as well.
Eno Sarris
1:33
I mean they need, you know, an actual pitching staff beyond Berrios. So Yu would be a big start.
StraightCashman
1:33
Stanton & Ozuna, gone.. where will Yelich & Realmuto end up?
Eno Sarris
1:33
Miami.
Jerj Clooners

Going to Boston this weekend and need beer recs. I've heard you gush about Orange Julius so that's on the list. Any others?
Eno Sarris
1:34
Trillium is great. Lamplighter and Lord Hobo are near each other in Cambridge and are great. Night Shift is a trek but awesome.

Re: Smyly/Pineda and Cincy. Sure, but wouldn't there at least have been some rumblings that they were in on them? Outside of the Ohtani push, pitching rumors out of Cincy have been silent
Eno Sarris
1:34
Maybe they hoping Bob Steve found something in his second curveball, Disco will be healthy, and they'll sign someone who can actually start 2018 healthy.
Ohtani quirks
1:34
Fun think to think about: If Ohtani ever requires TJ, is he more valuable because he can only miss 2-3 months then still perform as a hitter?
Eno Sarris
1:35
love it
Olani
1:35
How true is it that Votto wouldn't accept a trade?
Eno Sarris
1:35
I can't imagine he wouldn't listen, Stanton style, to the best teams try to pry him away.
1:36
Okay Passan saying that Yelich is in play. Gonna take a good ransom, though, and what team... Wait Dodgers could use a really good cheap OF, especially if they can drop some short term money deals to the Marlins, like send em Adrian Gonzalez and some good prospects. They are definitely trying to get under the lux tax some year.
OneTrueDan
1:37
Cobb to Chicago seems pretty obvious, right? Straightforward enough.
Eno Sarris
1:37
All the smoke is there. His old pitching coach, they need another starter, probably.... but I dunno, they're also probably nervous that he never got the splitter back.
Red Foreman
1:37
Can you explain how a Machado trade would work in regard to an extension. He has to approve a 72 hour window to negotiate? Is that right?
Eno Sarris
1:37
that's been done before.
Josh
1:38
Is Dipoto a good or bad GM?  I can't figure him out.
Eno Sarris
1:38
Fun to cover, although sometimes he goes straight to the readers with his own podcast, apparently.
Art van delay
1:38
I loathe 10% of your comments.
Eno Sarris
1:38
I'm okay with that.

Eno Sarris

For baseball people for sure.
Roadhog

I imagine if Piscotty is in the Ozuna deal, the Marlins turn around and deal him to Oakland, correct?
Eno Sarris
1:39
Which outfielder is in the deal is the most interesting detail yet to come.
Brian
1:39
Which teams do you view as leading the way in terms of data driven pitching analytics? Where might you rank the mariners in that list?
Eno Sarris
1:40
I think the Mariners do a lot there, look at some of their fringe acquisitions like Moll. Extreme high spin and low spin waiver pickups. I think very highly of the Cubs pitching analytics group, they're obviously doing their best to supplement offensive core with smart pitching pickups. The Rays were formidable with Kalk so maybe the Twins will pick it up.
