    Predicting the First Real Moves of the Offseason as November Frenzy Begins

    The Baseball Insiders hosts Adam Weinrib and MLB Insider Robert Murray break down the first real moves of the MLB offseason, from the Astros’ hiring of Randy Flores to the Tarik Skubal free agency race and the early trade market.

They also ask whether any major free agent dominoes fall before a possible lockout, with the Dodgers and Mets in focus around Skubal. On the trade front, they cover the rising market for CJ Abrams and Jeremy Peña, whether an Elly De La Cruz trade has real momentum, which surprising names could emerge, and how Nick Pivetta’s decision affects the Padres’ rotation. 00:00 MLB Offseason Begins: The Biggest Moves Ahead 03:24 Houston Astros Hire Randy Flores as GM 07:29 MLB Qualifying Offers: Brandon Lowe, Jazz Chisholm and More 10:44 Which MLB Free Agents Could Sign Before the Lockout? 13:13 Freddy Peralta, Drew Rasmussen and Early Trade Candidates 14:11 CJ Abrams, Zach Neto and Reid Detmers Trade Buzz 17:12 Could the Cincinnati Reds Trade Elly De La Cruz? 20:08 What Would It Take for the Red Sox to Get Elly De La Cruz? 23:23 Seiya Suzuki and the Toronto Blue Jays 24:54 Padres Rotation Plans: Michael King, Freddy Peralta and Tarik Skubal 27:12 MLB Offseason Predictions and What's Next #MLB #MLBOffseason #Astros #TarikSkubal #mlbtraderumors --- SIGN UP for Robert Murray's Rumor Mill: https://joinsubtext.com/c/robert-murray SUBSCRIBE to The Moonshot, our weekly baseball email newsletter, where the FanSided MLB team, including Robert Murray, break down all the biggest stories in the big leagues with humor, insight and behind-the-scenes info: https://fansided.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b9bb472d0aa5e8abf01e2ced7&id=fa28ec1e24 Got more questions for Robert & Adam?
