It's Baseball Prospectus's newest podcast: DFA! Host Bryan Grosnick (Baseball Prospectus), co-host R.J. Anderson (CBS Sports), and producer Shawn Brody (Beyond the Box Score, BP Mets) are talking about all the transactions and roster moves that make MLB go. From trades and signings to callups and disabled list stints, DFA is here to provide analysis and commentary on all things baseball.
On the 16th episode of the DFA Podcast, Bryan and guest co-host Zach Crizer are compelled to throw out the usual format (and bring Shawn in early) to discuss the first true blockbuster trade of 2017. That's right, the Chicago Cubs got White Sox ace Jose Quintana … and all they had to give up was the entire top tier of their farm system. All three discuss their opinions on Quintana's ace-hood, the Cubs' chances of catching the Brewers, and the White Sox' timetable. Plus, as an extra bonus, there's just enough time to discuss Bartolo Colon heading to Minnesota Rochester and Colby Rasmus stepping away from baseball.
