Yeah lets hope. The only challenge is who wants him?

The waiver wire will do

There is no reason their starting OF most days doesn't include Jason Martin and Reynolds.

I agree on that

Time to punt.

IF we trade Vasquez, we need 2 top 50 prospects and then a couple more good prospects

IMO, that may be a bit high in asking price.

And they got a warm body for him!

Pirates Trade Jordan Lyles To Brewers

They'll turn Lyles into a world beater.

I was just going to post that. Watch him get a whole lot better now.

Remember Lyles went to Milwaukee last trade deadline and pitched well out of the bullpen. But they thought so much of him to not tender his option and let him go but now want him back. Funny how that works.

So, if this slide continues, does Hurdle keep his job. I know he is limited in what he can work with and injuries, but this slide is getting out of control.

I'm shocked that Lyles was the first Pirates to get traded this year. Cabrera, Dickerson, Kang, Liriano and maybe Vazquez/Marte on the clock.

What if the Pirates traded Marte/Vazquez/ and one or two of Tucker/Kramer/Craig to the Dodgers to get Lux, May and Ruiz or Smith.

I bet we go small ball and trade Melky, Dickerson and Liriano.

FWIW, I think Vasquez is worth that package without tossing in anyone else.

Maybe the Pirates could pull off a trade with the Mets for Edwin Diaz to become their new closer and take a closer off the market and then trade Vazquez. Basically what the Mets did with Stroman.

LOL...yeah that would be the only way they get the real value for Vazquez.

Or they get into fights with every team, make sure all players of trade value on those said teams get hurt or suspended to make the Pirate players value go up?

 

[steelparrot]

The Pirates are 'listening more actively' on Vasquez.

or maybe Neil needs a hearing aid and keeps saying, 'can you repeat that trade offer' and hanging up the phone.

Trade Chatter On Felipe Vazquez Reportedly Increasing

 

[steelerssb]

My goodness this guy is a doofus (for the being in it quote).

Taillon getting elbow surgery and will be out until at least May.

Why did they wait.
