Seems fitting.
Yeah, when a guy slugs .500 for the first time as a 35 year old, you go ahead and give him another year.
(Especially when your regular CF is going to be out until July at a minimum)
Seems fitting.
With a payroll that low they should just outbid everyone on Donaldson and then hope he gets off to a real good start, then trade him to a contender for some prospects mid season.Kang was let go last year. Marte, Polanco and Archer make up 90% of that guaranteed salary. And if they trade Marte that would drop to around 24 million in guaranteed salary.
Also add the fact they have only 1 catcher on their 40 man roster.
You would think but the owner will never pay. Remember this is the team whose largest contract ever is still Jason Freaking Kendall.With a payroll that low they should just outbid everyone on Donaldson and then hope he gets off to a real good start, then trade him to a contender for some prospects mid season.
At least they won’t rip your heart out every year. Our largest contract and longest tenured player disappears come OctoberYou would think but the owner will never pay. Remember this is the team whose largest contract ever is still Jason Freaking Kendall.
Seems like a good strategy to speed along the rebuilding process. The Phillies tried it a couple times with veteran starting pitchers and it never worked but I can see how it could work. And it would have worked with Charlie Morton but they were a year early.You would think but the owner will never pay.

Who is that, Freddie?At least they won’t rip your heart out every year. Our largest contract and longest tenured player disappears come October
Would make sense but the Pirates are in a perpetual rebuild. Even the few years in the playoffs they refused to add real talent at the deadline to improve. This is the team that hasn’t won a playoff series since 1979.Seems like a good strategy to speed along the rebuilding process.

Well at least that one turned out good. Oddly enough even though I can't name more than 2 pirates from last year I can rattle off the 1979 starters with no problem.Would make sense but the Pirates are in a perpetual rebuild.

Sadly most Pirate fans would have the same responses.Well at least that one turned out good. Oddly enough even though I can't name more than 2 pirates from last year I can rattle off the 1979 starters with no problem.

Crazy how the mind works. Is this what Alzheimer's is like?
That’s a hell of a haul though. The guys listed are all either in the bigs and producing or are MLB ready.I mean I love Lindor and if I was the owner I would say 100% new contract...but we all know this owner is a cheap SOB so why not get as much as you can for him NOW. That would be a ton of young talent.
If Clevinger is going, then I hope that means that catcher coming from LA becomes Ruiz. If I'm Cleveland, I can't accept this trade fast enough.
