Looking really good since the first, so I don't think the leash is as short as I'd have guessed an hour ago.
Him getting through six would be a big deal given the bullpen situation

Urshela is from Colombia. When I checked I was surprised to find that Red Sox hot prospect Jeter Downs is also Colombian. I hope he plays a better SS than Edgar Renteria, another Colombian, did when he was in Boston.

As a Seattleite this may be sacrilege but... I've always found most Elysians to be a bit much.

I agree re: Elysians. Also they're sorta fake craft (owned by AB) so I try to stay away from them anyway
Shiiiiiiiin Gojira!

What does a Lindor trade even look like at this point? One year at 27 is big, but everyone's pretending to be poor for the next CBA
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:44
Yeah, it's not going to be super huge and massive.
it'll be less than Betts
Brendan Gawlowski

They should beat what Baltimore got for Machado but probably not by all that much.

Fairbanks? The ol' backwards bullpen gambit.

Wonder if this is insurance for Anderson if he gets in deeper trouble or if he's actually pitching next regardless.

Braves have gotten some slack for their pitching development, but Soroka, Fried, Anderson, Wright and depth is not bad
Brendan Gawlowski

Belatedly coming together, but better late than never.

I know even you experts cannot make a guess about this off-season, but with that said, any guesses?

Everybody hates each other in November.
I think we'll see an even larger normal than usual stars vs. non-stars salary divide in FA
Brendan Gawlowski

If I didn't work for a baseball site, I would just check the signings in February because I don't think it's going to be much fun to follow.

Kyle Wright all of a sudden figuring it out has been interesting to observe
Brendan Gawlowski
8:50
It has. We're going to need to see him do it for a little longer before buying in completely, but things look a lot better there than they did six weeks ago

What are the odds on full capacity crowds  at the start of 2021?

10%

Dark horse to trade for Lindor?

Cardinals

Assuming effective vaccine, it won't be super-distributed by that point.
8:52
I could totally see Cards.
Brendan Gawlowski
8:52
There's precedent with Heyward (maybe even Goldschmidt) for that type of move and I think it's time to move Carpenter into more of a bench role
Steve O
8:53
The difficulty with Lindor is why give someone 300M who isn't elite offensively? A lot of his value is tied up on defense.
Brendan Gawlowski
8:54
He should age really well, and the $/win wouldn't be scary even if he's only elite for the first 4-5 years of the deal
You guys have no idea how many bad puns Dan and I have sat on this chat

Steve O. Lindor is a tremendous offensive player! He hit 30+ HR's three years in a row.
Brendan Gawlowski
8:55
I think Steve's question was fair... He's a good hitter, but not elite.

Sitting on bad puns is censorship.
Aaron Judge is too short to be an effective MLB outfielder.

If the Cards were to trade for Lindor, what would become of DeJong?

They'd figure it out
