Come on now that wouldn't come into play at all. Numerous contending teams are obviously needing SP and the pickings are VERY slim. Throw in...
Better not get our hopes up on acquiring another SP. Brown sounds like they're good to go with Valdez--Javier--JP--Brown--Urquidy. If that's the...
I have no problem with this trade. Especially since it's not a rental (Graveman signed at a reasonable 8 mil for next yr). Plus he's behind...
Wilbur Wood and Mickey Lolich
I'm just glad that Giolito (and possibly Ohtani) didn't wind up with BALT, or TEX, or T.B, or TOR or any other major contending team. Looks like...
Well said Nook. The depth of the pen is THE main reason we won the WS last yr. The difference this yr is we don't have the starting pitching...
As much as I would hate to lose Gilbert I would do it. You would trade Hader for Pressly KNOWING he's a rental and having Pressly signed for...
As much as I would hate to lose Gilbert I would do it.
If that's all it would take I'd jump on that. Would be surprised however if PITT is serious about trading him this yr.

Curious what type of package it would take to get him? He'd be a HUGE get and I'm all about strengthening the pen (not just for this yr especially...
I think he graduated from UH CLC.
Maybe because they're only 5.5 gms back of the 3rd WC. Maybe they think they can go on a run.
I thought he graduated from Dulles high school?
My contact in the organization told me Crane was willing to go 2yr/60. Wasn't going above this nor was he willing to go 3 yrs (not even a club...
To even consider it more cash would have to come back. Crane wasn't willing to go over 30 mil for JV on his current contract so he sure isn't...
S.D. is only 5.5 games back from PHI for the 3rd WC. They may decide to be buyers instead of sellers. Will be interesting to see how things play...
