This. In fact, I might even prefer this over Bud for Bundy straight up (although I'd love either). But realistically, I fully understand either are unlikely. I just don't want to underestimate Luhnow's wizardry.

These guys are more embracing of being assets than Murray's Rockets. Murray wishes he had Jeff's player relationships!
so you think the pirates are going to trade that pick plus one of there good pitching prospects in Glasnow? lets hope so.... but not realistic

Last tweet said he's fully open to joining a mlb contender. I have a feeling after several seasons on a losing club he's ready for some competition.
Yeah playing a game for a living, making millions of dollars, and about to be traded off a losing team to a contender. I feel really bad for him as well /sarcasm
Yeah the millions of dollars he makes too play baseball and he's about to go from a worst to first or on the heels of first club. boohoo

Such hissy fits from front offices (especially the Braves) that they can't just fleece us. Glad we are finally in capable hands again.
