If Pirates signed Nova, definitely a step in right direction. Trade for Quintana, &they're a playoff team.

<t>from the mlb trade rumors chat with Steve Adams today...<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Pirates<br/> <br/> 3:53<br/> <br/> Are you surprised at the overpay for Daniel Hudson given the injury history?<br/> <br/> Steve Adams<br/> <br/> 3:53<br/> <br/> I don't think it's an overpay. I think it's a bargain.<...

I don't think this is an overpay at all.

Yankees told them no thanks. I was just suggesting that you can't say trading Melancon is throwing in the towel. If that Nats are willing to deal Giolito, and Melancon could be a big part getting him, I'd say do it.

Nats are reportedly (MLB Trade Rumors) willing to trade Lucas Giolito for Andrew Miller straight up. If they make the same offer for Melancon, the Pirates have to take that trade.
