The pitchers I guess. Labrum surgery sucks and Salazar is lost. Zimmer could steal 30.

According to Vegas, the top 5 Otani landing spots are the Mariners, Dodgers, Angels, Cubs, and Yankees. Does that look right to you?
Eno Sarris
1:05
Yes. Teams with either a winning legacy or a good Japanese contingent in the city or both.
1:06
I mean, money is mostly off the table, though a few cities can pay a bit more. So it's about the city itself and their ability to win. I think maybe Dodgers actually. He was thinking about signing with them out of high school. But Yankees make sense too.
Erik

Which young Cub hitter gets traded for pitching this winter?
Eno Sarris
1:06
They really haven't done that and may not do it, but the one that makes the most sense is Schwarber, because his outfield defense is not good.

Could Miami reduce payroll if the Marlins package lefthander Wei-Yin Chen (who is owed $65 million over three years) with the surplus value of players such as Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and/or J.T. Realmuto?
Eno Sarris
1:07
That'll certainly be the non-Stanton deal they try to make. Which is why the Athletics would be a strange fit, unless Miami pays down the chen contract a bit.
1:08
Holy crap. The A's have $30m to spend. Maybe they will get Chen and an OF.
1:09
Hilarious. they have three veterans being paid $6m each and everyone else is Arb1 or Arb2.
or minimum.

Eno, Rich Hill is the #2 next to Kershaw. He good.
Eno Sarris
1:09
I like him! But if you're taking your number two out in the fourth inning the playoffs, I'm not sure he's your number two.

Eno, I passed you in the Scottsdale Stadium parking garage the other day and hollered, "Enoooooo!". What are your thoughts on Glasnow going forward?
Eno Sarris
1:11
I thought I heard someone! Glasnow stereotypical high ceiling low floor guy. If he can do something like Carrasco did, and just throw hard in the zone with great stuff... I don't typically think that players add a ton off command. Maybe a little around the edges, by sequencing better.
1:12
man I'm hungry and I have four more hours to go before my procedure and have to stop drinking water now
Lee
1:13
Yes but JD doesn't have a prospect cost involved in signing him.  Stanton will cost talent, JD just money.
Eno Sarris
1:13
Sure, but we were talking about payroll and surplus value. A six win guy is worth around $60m, there's surplus there, and actual contracts are rising to meet Stanton's.

Am I totally crazy for thinking the Reds could return to relevance in the next 2 years?
Eno Sarris
1:14
They have one starter and one reliever and an okay lineup. I want to see another pitcher work out.
KJ
1:14
Also, Joey Votto. No question - just want to say his name. So say we all.

I think Maikel Franco needs to download K.I.T.T. into his smartphone and take batting practice lessons, recording the whole thing for the internet to see it of course

The world needs a gritty remake of The Noid's story, directed by Christopher Nolan.

This one grabbed me out of nowhere.

The noid!

Teheran for Javy Baez

Do you think Otani already knows where he wants to sign with?
Eno Sarris
1:16
It's fun to be recruited, I'd advise him to enjoy it with an open mind.
mike

Eno, you're always talking about possibilities with Wright. Trust us East Coasters, he's never ever playing again.
Eno Sarris
1:17
It's so sad I can't deal with it.

How annoyed should I be when Chatwood goes to Miami or Pittsburgh or somewhere and winds up getting CY votes next year?
Eno Sarris
1:17
Oh god Pittsburgh 100%
The Ghost of Wade Boggs

Generally speaking, what would an Ian Kinsler trade look like?
Eno Sarris
1:20
I hate to follow a playbook because we don't know who actually needs him and what they have available, but we're talking about a 35 year old signed to a one year deal at $10m and projected to be a 2.5 win player. So he should return a pitcher in the back end of the top 100. May get more at deadline because teams will know they need him.

There aren't good pitching options on the trade market and the Cubs don't really need an ace, just depth. So why is everyone saying this is the year they trade a hitter?
Eno Sarris
1:21
Agree. I guess it's because people don't love Q like we do, and are missing that they look for pitching like this every year recently.
Nathan
1:21
i don't get the Pederson trade thing. Joc had a bad season but he had a 129 wRC+ in 2017. Why trust Verdugo who's played all of 10 or 15 games out there rather than a guy who you know can be a very good hitter?
Eno Sarris
1:22
Well I did say I'd buy, but it's not just Verdugo, it's Toles, and if there's anything left with Adrian Gonzalez, if he can fix the back for one last year... there are options.
