    11:07 Is my "taking a hometown discount" at all related to the fact that the two most interested teams were both in NY?

    11:07 What a coincidence

    Sometimes the FG writers make me chuckle...

    what are you kinda scared of, big trade or something? Well, I guess you are all those things together but I just don't see why you'd be kinda scared too.

    Going to be interesting to see how he goes into an offseason knowing what he has to work with in our system as opposed to coming in new and not wanting to mess with too much.

    Also going into this offseason, regardless of what happens this October, we'll be a contender not just for the division but for the NL as well. So interested to see how he goes into winter this time as contender as opposed to last year when expectations were already low for the 2018 season.

    I hope he finds a way to bring Simmons back to Atlanta.

    I think Anthropoulos played the season just about perfectly. We weren't expected to contend, so he was judicious in his moves. We outpaced our expectations by quite a healthy margin, so it's a win-win.

    What SAV said.

    I think given he has a year knowing the system, knowing our top prospects and whatnot. He'll make a big trade of some kind. Realmuto probably makes most sense given team needs, but i could see the Marlins make him their Freeman.

    We have a cost-controlled shortstop that is not a liability defensively that has hit some homeruns. Maybe they'll bite on that for Simmons.

    As much as AA considers defense, he might try to pry Simmons away from the Angels too.

    Simmons and Realmuto would be quite a coup, would assume Swanson would go back to the Angels with a couple prospects.

    Swanson and Newk for Simmons sounds fair

    I'd even throw in Flaherty and Tucker just to sweeten the deal for them. Those two delivered us a few wins in April.

    Angels will be interesting to watch this off-season. They are kind of in limbo right now. Tough division (although I don't know if the A's will be as good again next season), big payroll, odd mix of players.
