Date	Question	Answer
2020-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Jesse thanks for the chat , Just to get a feel for first base ,where would Yasmani rank in the top 50 dynasty first basemen? Cheers. (boatman44 from Liverpool)	Yasmani Grandal should be playing catcher in all dynasty leagues ;) but, as a 1B-only, he would rank 26th right behind his teammate Edwin Encarnacion. (Jesse Roche)
2019-11-07 14:00:00 (link to chat)	So like the White Sox are definitely not signing Cole or Rendon so like what's a realistic offseason for them? (YaBoi BigBen from DC)	I gave them Marcell Ozuna and Edwin Encarnacion in my predictions, along with bringing back Jose Abreu. Yes, that would be quite disappointing. Want another underwhelming possibility that I didn't mention in the column? The White Sox could use a catcher, right? And Yasmani Grandal is available, right? But doesn't Jason Castro just seem like SUCH a White Sox signing? Sorry. (Free Agent Chat w/Collin Whitchurch)
2019-10-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	As a Dodger fan, how mad/annoyed am I allowed to get at Yasmani Grandal contributing more in the first 15 minutes of last nights game than over the course of the entire 2017-2018 playoffs (and also blocking pitches in the dirt?!?!) ? I'm definitely not salty at all. Definitely not. (Matt from California)	I mean look, I'm not going to tell you how to feel. Grandal was always a streaky guy and he was brutal those two playoff stretches but he was also a significant part of how they got to where they were as a team. It sucks he fell apart but I'm glad for the guy to get over the hump and hopefully not have it plague him anymore. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-02-04 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Mike, Keeper question for you. 12-team mixed 5x5 standard roto. I can keep up to four players at these round values. What do you think? Trevor Bauer - 19 Yasmani Grandal - 12 Randal Grichuk - 15 Nomar Mazara - 12 David Peralta - 29 Carlos Santana - 14 Eduardo Rodriguez - 21 Mallex Smith - 22 (Rob from New York)	Bauer, Peralta, Smith and E-Rod. If it's a two catcher league, Grandal instead of E-Rod. (Mike Gianella)
2018-12-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Thoughts on FA Grandal? (zeeksam from Halifax)	I think Yasmani Grandal is probably being underrated because of the focus on his awful postseason, as opposed to his consistently very good regular seasons. I ranked him as the #9 free agent. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/43474/the-2019-free-agent-fifty-1-10/ For many teams, signing him seemingly would make a lot more sense than trading big prospect hauls for J.T. Realmuto. (Aaron Gleeman)
