In the most recent edition of the MLBTR Mailbag, I fielded questions on Mike Moustakas and Carlos Gonzalez as they head into free agency, the Blue Jays’ outfield, and Yoan Moncada’s early struggles at the plate.
If you have a question pertaining to August trades, 2017-18 free agency or any other topic we’d typically cover here on MLBTR, send us an email: mlbtrmailbag@gmail.com.
This time around, we’re also pleased to offer a bonus Mailbag that will be hosted by Twins right-hander Trevor May, who has been writing for MLBTR as part of our Player’s Perspective series while he works through his rehab from Tommy John surgery. (His most recent post for us was published earlier this morning.) Trevor suggested that he’d like to do a Mailbag with MLBTR readers, and we naturally obliged. You can submit questions for the Trevor May Mailbag at a separate email: trevormayofficial@gmail.com.
We’ll run both Mailbags next week, and also remember that you’re always welcome to get our take on topics of your choosing in the three weekly chats hosted at MLBTR (Tuesdays at 2pm CT with me, Wednesdays at 6:30pm CT with Jason Martinez and Thursdays at 2pm CT with Jeff Todd).
