<t>I'm ok with this signing based on this theory: They aren't going to win next year. Sinking cost into catcher who is a hitter isn't necessary.

Best case scenario is that he has a great first half and you trade him at the trade deadline to try and sa...

The Padres just traded for Pham and a prospect from TB. In just a couple of days, the two likely suitors for Marte just made alternate trades for much lesser players. I don't blame the Pirates FO for missing these opportunities, but it is a bummer.
