Jack and Peter end the week by answering your questions from X and Instagram!Did the Red Sox give up too much for Crochet? - @jmhall13 on IG Who will be the best prospect moved this offseason? will it end up being teel? (am i forgetting another trade) - @ryan05foster on XWho will be considered the “steal” of the off-season? Maybe someone who is going to get a smaller contract than they deserve or a free agent you guys are very high on. - @GutTakes on XIf the Reds trade from their surplus of starting pitchers, who could they trade and to potentially what team? What could a trade look like? - @TeamKaptain08 on XHow do you think the Orioles and the Mariners could match up in a trade? - KleineSchroeder on X What’s best case scenario, from the Cardinal’s POV, for an Arenado trade? Hope for a straight salary dump, or could there be an actual interesting piece coming back in return? - @d_rawlings23 on IGAs a Giants fan, I would like to hear your opinion about how the Giants are being ran. Posey says he would like to focus on scouting (assuming he’s speaking on drafting) but why do we donate our draft picks for QA free agents? We lost the chapman and snell picks. The west is too strong for a mid Giants team with no farm (we cant even win a top 10 spot in the draft lotto) Does it really make sense to go full force and sign QA free agents instead of signing 1 year flippable players at the deadline? Posey’s contract is only for 3 years and he has given away another pick this year. - @moritsugu.ryan on IGThe Tigers, Royals, and Mets were the pleasant surprises of last season. Who is your prediction for surprise team for this upcoming season? - @trebbs44 on IGIf Dombrowski were to push the chips forward to try and bring Kyle Tucker to Philly, what would the package look like that would send him from Houston to Philly? - @gabegarner15 on IGSubscribe to Our New Newsletter!Check out our LinkTree!Get Your Just Baseball MerchUse Code "JUSTBASEBALL" when signing up on BetMGMSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-just-baseball-show/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
