Nothing left to say about this year. Thinking ahead about next year with salaries and thoughts. Maybe a bold move. Remember when the Pirates were aggressive when signing Russell Martin?)
1.Starling Marte OF $10,000,000
2.Ivan Nova SP $8,000,000 (2019 last year of contract - try to trade?)
3.Chris Archer SP $7,666,668
4.Gregory Polanco OF $6,100,000
5.David Freese UTIL $6,000,000 (2019 - option - bring him back)
6. Jung Ho Kang 3B/SS $5,500,000 (2019 - option - bring him back)
7.Felipe Rivero RP $4,000,000
8.Corey Dickerson OF 3 arby (2017-$5,950,000 - try a 2-year $20Mish contract)
9.Adeiny Hechavarria SS FA (2017-$5,900,000 - try to resign at $3Mish)
10.Keone Kela RP 2 arby (2019-$3Mish)
11.Jameson Taillon SP TC ($575kish)
12.Josh Bell 1B TC ($575kish)
13.Adam Frazier UTIL TC ($575kish)
14.Trevor Williams SP TC ($575kish)
15.Elias Diaz C TC ($575kish)
16.Joe Musgrove SP TC ($575kish)
17.Colin Moran 3B TC ($575kish)
18.Kyle Crick RP TC ($575kish)
19. Steven Brault RP TC ($575kish)
20. Edgar Santana RP TC ($575kish)
21. Richard Rodriguez RP TC ($575kish)
22. Kevin Newman SS TC ($575kish)
23. Jose Osuna OF/1B TC ($575kish)
24. Jacob Stallings C TC ($575kish) - maybe a solid defensive vet.
25. Daniel Murphy 2B (2 yrs/$26Mish) the bold move.
GONE:
Francisco Cervelli C $11,500,000 (last year of contract -trade due to Diaz/reduced catching)
Josh Harrison 2B $10,500,000 (2019 option $10.5M, 2020 option $11.5M - Release or Trade)
Jordy Mercer SS GONE (2017-$6,750,000 - Released/Contract Expired)
Sean Rodriguez UTIL (GONE - Released/Contract Expired)
That gives the Pirates 14 players under team control making the league minimum totaling around $8,000,000 combined and approximately $70,000,000 for 11 players not making the league minimum.
This could create an interesting, deeper line-up:
Marte, Murphy, Dickerson, Polanco, Kang/Freese, Bell, Diaz, Newman
1.Starling Marte OF $10,000,000
2.Ivan Nova SP $8,000,000 (2019 last year of contract - try to trade?)
3.Chris Archer SP $7,666,668
