We'll get started in a few moments.

Is Sergio Romo safe to drop, i.e. have the Twins officially said they're sticking with Rogers at closer?
Brad Johnson
4:02
I've seen nothing to that effect. I always would be outright stunned if they didn't add a closer. I'd hang onto Romo just a little longer to play it safe.
4:04
Though if you wanted to speculate on someone like Bummer, you could. Losing Romo the Closer isn't a big deal even if he retains the job.

This is the end of any Ty Buttrey spec, right?  We can all stop stashing him now?
Brad Johnson
4:04
You're referring to his recent slump, right?
4:05
I think he could still climb back into the picture towards the end of the season, but I see no reason to keep squeezing the stone if you have alternatives
Mike

Which MLB position player would you trade 1x1 to get Jo Adell on a fair trade?
Brad Johnson
4:05
Oh that's hard. I'm going to assume current contracts and Angels needs
4:06
I think it would have to be someone like Ketel Marte or Jorge Polanco. Controllable, cheap, but not quite a star
Though you could argue that last point with Marte
4:07
I'm kind of looking ahead to when the ball is less juicy and those HR turn back into 2Bs
daro
4:07
im out of contention. 12teams 10 keepers. would you trade pete alonso and giolito/soroka for freeman?
Brad Johnson
4:07
Nope. Alonso is probably a better asset.
Glass is Cheap
4:07
If you could control the Royals until the deadline, who would you be trying to trade?
Brad Johnson
4:07
This is a good one...
4:08
Well, I'd be trying to trade Merrifield for one, but I get the sense there isn't much of a market for him.
Hamilton is an obvious swap for a B- pitching spec
Jorge Soler should go while he's hitting
4:09
Basically, everybody except Mondesi, Lopez, and maybe Dozier
I would ask around on Dozier though. He's not exactly young.
Kyle
4:09
The Gurriel Bros, replacement level bats or useful starters in 12 team for rest of the year?
Brad Johnson
4:09
They're above rep level
4:10
They've carried at times this year, but I would expect merely decent production
Rocco
4:10
Can Will Smith (C) be counted on for ROS?  I'm thinking about trading Realmuto (11th round value in a keeper league) to fill in other holes for my championship run?
Brad Johnson
4:10
No, but that doesn't mean you can't gamble on moving Realmuto
C is surprisingly deep this year. If Smith dries up, you might be able to get Tom Murphy. Sean Murphy is also due for a call later.
Mike
4:11
Are you holding Senzel in a shallow H2H OPS league? His counting stats haven't been all that great
Brad Johnson
4:11
If it's redraft, you don't have to if you see a shiny alternative
But definitely in any scenario where he'd be kept.
Connor Joe Buck
4:11
ottoneu H2H w/ FG scoring...Scherzer ($65) and $29 loan for Severino ($33) and Nate Pearson ($3). Which side do you prefer?
Brad Johnson
4:11
Scherzer
Rick Hahn
4:12
What kind of return can I get if I package Colome with a Bummer or Fry?
Brad Johnson
4:12
This level of reliever typically doesn't merit a large return. Probably a B spec of some kind
4:13
I'll use Adam Haseley as an example
Not that the Phillies can afford to trade an OFer.
Baxter
4:13
10 Team Standard Roto Dynasty. Kirilloff/Manning/Julio Rodriguez too much for Story or Jose Ramirez? Wanting to compete but still want to hold top prospects if possible.
Brad Johnson
4:13
No. That format is so shallow. You can rebuild that farm fast.
4:14
Any kind of 8-12 team dynasty, I would constantly pump prospects for MLBers
No sense developing your own talent unless nobody will pay for it.
