Paul Swydan: Hi everybody! I’ll be here at 9 pm ET. Jeff might be too, but probably won’t be. Hit me up with questions, and if I survive mowing the lawn, I’ll see you soon!

Paul Swydan: I love to see pitchers and umpires engaged in civil conversation. Good times.

Paul Swydan: OK, let’s do this.

Comment From Ben of Pearl River
MATT ADAMS. oh wait, questions. MATT ADAMS?

Paul Swydan: Our man August wrote about Matt today. Def check that out.

Paul Swydan: Myself, I have been pleasantly surprised. I did not see him hitting this well again this season. The defense is simply an added bonus. Good times.

Dave Cameron: The trade deadline is a month away, the playoff races are getting a little more interesting, and the queue is now open. Fire away.

Comment From Erik
Do you see Benoit having value as a closer by the end of the trade deadline?

Dave Cameron: I think he has some incentives in his deal that pay him a decent amount of extra money if he racks up saves, so I wouldn’t be surprised if any acquiring team kept him in a setup role.

Comment From Jeff in T.O.
Please tell my Jays to go for either Kennedy or Hammels, don’t empty the cupboard for Samardziga!

Dave Cameron: Yeah, that’s what I would guess they will do.

Comment From Ben
Indians sent down McAllistar.. and chance that 5th spot goes back to Salazar when they need a 5th starter again or is he toast this year?

Jeff Sullivan: Hello, readers of this chat

Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to this chat

Jeff Sullivan: I will apologize in advance that while I usually chat for 2+ hours, today I’ll be confined to more of a typical Dave schedule. Will I compensate by chatting faster? Absolutely probably not!

Jeff Sullivan: And per usual, don’t bother asking me fantasy questions that you don’t dress up as better, more real-life-relevant questions

Comment From Mark
All you can eat content buffet!

Jeff Sullivan: Well probably no

Eno Sarris: Nick will be here shortly!

Nicholas Minnix: Yes, I will, and don’t him Shortly!

Nicholas Minnix: Morning, everybody, looking forward to getting started at the top of the hour!

Comment From Sandy

Comment From Jake Arrieta
TNAX FOR RTICUL BOUT ME

Dave Cameron: So we’re going to try an experiment today; I’m at a local hangout while my car is getting fixed. I don’t know how great the wi-fi is, or how long it’s going to take to get the car working, so this chat might be abbreviated, or extra long. I guess we’ll find out!

Dave Cameron: The queue is now open.

Dave Cameron: Alright, let’s get this party started.

Comment From Darren
Is Lucroy the NL MVP as of today?

Dave Cameron: Tulo is probably still on top, but Lucroy is in the mix. McCutchen, Stanton, Puig if he catches fire again.

Comment From Ryan
Has Luis Valbuena actually developed into a useful piece going forward for the Cubs?

Paul Swydan: Hi everybody!

Jeff was away last weekend, so he is still playing catchup, which means you are stuck with me again tonight! I’ve already got four polls up and running, and hit me with questions, and I’ll see you at 9 pm ET. It’s a plan just crazy enough to work. See you soon!

Paul Swydan: Oh hey, let’s do this.

Comment From Sunshine
Brock Holt in the OF, how quickly does he gain eligibility in fantasy?

Paul Swydan: Pretty sure this depends on your specific league. Every league I’m in is different.

Comment From Sunshine
thoughts on Taveras?

Paul Swydan: He’ll be back. And be spectacular.

Jeff Sullivan: Hey guys, sorry about that, had to wrap up a couple little travel arrangements

Jeff Sullivan: Just by complete chance, I’m going to be in San Diego tomorrow for the Padres’ first home game since yesterday’s awful news. Haven’t cried in a while, so this should bring that streak to an end.

Jeff Sullivan: But let’s talk about good things, and also probably some bad things. Baseball time!

Comment From Bret
Sure, what did you want to chat about?

Jeff Sullivan: Baseball time!

Comment From Lonnie B. Goode
breaking: justin verlander has been diagnosed with a terminal case of tim lincecum disease

Dan Szymborski: RIP Tony Gwynn. Man, that’s crappy news. I went to take a shower before my chat and come back and everyone’s talking about Tony Gwynn’s career.

Comment From Los
Why are you bald?

Dan Szymborski: Because I shaved off my hair. Hair is the necessary ingredient to not being bald.

Dan Szymborski: Let’s get the presidents going (in a minute, still need to upload)

Comment From PieTraynee
Is McCutchen the best offensive player right now?

Dan Szymborski: Way up there, but I don’t expect him to really be the best offensively.

Eno Sarris: Minnix will be here shortly!

Nicholas Minnix: Hello, everybody!

Nicholas Minnix: We’ll get started in a few, of course!

Nicholas Minnix: Can’t wait to field your World Cup questions!

Nicholas Minnix: Just kidding.
