is there a trade that the US can make with Canada to offload Bieber?  Straight salary dump?
Eno Sarris

can we send back that dude that was married to a kardashian for a while

Neil Walker scenario: He "WANTS" to win, he fits on the yankees, so they offer him 2 years 26 million. And a less competitive team offers him 3 years 34 million. What are the chances he goes to the yanks?
Eno Sarris
1:58
decent because he'll convince himself there's one last deal waiting for him after.
Hannah Hochevar

I like both, but do you prefer Smyly or Pineda for TJ return?
Eno Sarris
1:58
Smyly had a crappier, longer injury history going in, so I guess that's an argument for Pineda. But Pineda had labrum surgery way back when, so I'll take Smyly.

I've been arguing with my fellow Cubs fans about the offense. They think it's fine because they scored over 800 runs. I think it's too inconsistent and I hate having Russell and Baez in the same lineup. I know they had one of the better OBP as a team, but it still feels like too much of a feast or famine offense. Personally, I think they need Schwarber to develop into the hitter they think he could be or they have to sign Harper.
Eno Sarris

Wouldn't a high contact spray hitter be a better addition to that high BB high K high power lineup?
Hahaha the Mets Yankees Angels Dodgers Brewers A's Padres Giants Rays and Blue Jays are on Kinsler's no-trade clause. Like I don't even understand how that list was put together.

Give me a description of Lord Hobo Boomsauce?  Overly hoppy?  Is it dry hopped?  Honestly, I can't stand anything dry hopped.
Eno Sarris
2:01
It might be dry hopped but it's not bitter at all. It's basically an NEIPA, so it's hazy, has thick mouthfeel, and is more fruity than bitter.

Why are teams so averse to trading in division? In theory, wouldn't the team trading the player away have the most data/info on the player to expose their "weaknesses"?
Eno Sarris
2:02
I think it's just optics. If the player does better going forward your fan base will see them every damn month.
Ehhhhhrly.

Schimpf starts the season on the 25-man roster for the Rays next year?
Eno Sarris
2:02
How many left-handed second basemen did they acquire? Should Brad Miller be looking over his shoulder?
Lou

Is the Luxury tax working in keeping competitive balance?
Eno Sarris
2:03
The tax is altering the way big teams make decisions. Dunno about the balance, the Stanton trade didn't feel very good for that.

Reports of Joe Smith taking a physical with the Astros, 2-year deal. You have a quick download on him?
Eno Sarris
2:03
He's really really good. Very consistent. Despite funky arm slot, he's been working to alter his looks, with a four-seam, and throwing up in zone more often, to combat the fact that people have seen his funky look more often.

Brock Holt!
Eno Sarris
2:04
wait Brock Holt did something?
AvatarDan Szymborski

No, I just like shouting it.
Eno Sarris

LOL

As a baseball fan with no intention to look for a job, would attending the winter meetings in the future (perhaps especially Vegas) be a worthwhile experience? I don't know exactly what a fan may get to see and who there is to talk to.
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:05
I think it depends how social you are in that case.
Eno Sarris
2:05
Last night I saw Terry Collins looking sad and Darryl Strawberry looking good. I've had beers with Bruce Bochy. But yeah, Dan's right too. It's not good enough to make standing in the corner looking at it to go just for that.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Go to one in a location that you'd like to go otherwise.
Eno Sarris
2:06
Vegas next year?
Now *I* have to pee so I think I'll leave you in Dan's hands. Supple hands.
AvatarDan Szymborski

As my mom calls them, the soft hands of someone who has never done a day of manual labor.
2:07
As if mom has.

What are the Angels going to do about 2/3 base?
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:07
I think they understand they ought to be aggressive.  That's why you hear so much Angels.
Eno Sarris
2:07
is that somewhere between home plate and first base?
Scott
2:07
Seems like Kinsler wants to avoid high-tax states, and then threw in the Rays and Brewers for some reason.
Eno Sarris
2:07
sorry sorry I'm gone. thanks guys, thanks Dan!

Florida doesn't have an income tax.

Dave traded for Eno and Dan has been the most exciting transaction today.

So teams knew this about Ohtani...right?
