Submit Your Questions For This Week’s Mailbag

By Steve Adams | September 19, 2016 at 11:14am CDT

Last week’s MLBTR Mailbag featured questions on Clayton Richard’s surprising performance since signing with the Padres, the Mets’ likelihood of retaining a trio of free agents, potential free-agent targets for the Giants and Ivan Nova’s earning power on the heels of his incredible run with the Pirates.

If you have a question on the upcoming offseason, free agency, the playoff race, postseason awards or anything else and would like to hear MLBTR’s take, let us know: mlbtrmailbag@gmail.com. We can’t get to every question, of course, but we’ll try to diversify the teams/subject matter as best we can. If you miss out on having your question answered, remember that you can always ask during one of our three weekly live chats — Tuesday afternoons with myself, Wednesday evenings with Jason Martinez and/or Thursday afternoons with Jeff Todd. Mailbag questions are welcome throughout the week, so feel free to send them in at any time.

    What players do you see the Braves pursuing this offseason specifically. (At least 3)

      Kelly Johnson, a 16 year old left-handed JV High school pitcher, and Tim Tebow.

        That’s funny. But let’s be serious: the number one free agent target this offseason will undoubtedly be Jeff Franceour.

      Seriously,
      Matt Weiters
      Maybe Mike Aviles
      Jeff Francouer
      Possibly a vet reliever

        There’s been some Prado talk, as well.

    Is the release/firing of De Jon Watson enough to placate disgruntled D’back fans, or must Stewart and/or LaRussa (and/or even Manager Chip Hale) also take the fall?

    What are the chances the Dodgers re-sign both Justin Turner and Kenley Jansen? I imagine Plan B at closer would be Chapman or Melancon, but where does LA go at 3B if Turner walks?

    They turn too Kendrick at 3rd probably and have an outfield of Puig(or Braun) Peterson and one of Eaithier, Towles, Hernandez or Thompson or Van Slyke or try to bring back Redick or play Chris Taylor at 3rd or at short moving Seager to 3rd

    But I see them focusing their efforts on bringing back Turner over Janson, but that is only my opinion.

      I think they maintain Turner
      Lose Kenley, sign Melancon

    if a player is called up after September 1 and another player gets hurt are they allowed to be added to the playoff roster?

      If a player was with an organization on September 1st (regardless of which roster) then they will be eligible to play for that team in the playoffs.

    When do u think the Commissioner will make a decision on the Astros hacking case by the Cardinals?

    Any chance the Astros tender an offer to Rasmus or Fister?

      QO, unlikely. Maybe Fister but Idk-
      Offer to re-sign probably, but I think they both go elsewhere

    Is literacy really so poor that this many of you can’t follow the instructions on how to ask your questions?

    If I buy thesis paper hopefully I won’t miss as many games next season. Commissioner making a decision on the Astros hacking case came as total surprise to me. I even can’t believe I am admitting this.
