<t>The Reds are stuck with Bailey. $20M+ for two more seasons for a 31 year-old pitcher who hasn't stayed healthy in three years and has pitched to a 6+ ERA is a bad contract. If we had to ship off McGuire and Ramirez to get rid of Liriano's contract, what would it cost the Reds to unload Bailey?<br...

<t>Sean and Freese will split 3rd. NH's comments make me think SRod may get more starts than Freese, but either way, the team isn't appreciably better. Gotta get one of those blocked prospects. Include Eppler or another AA/AAA starter that wasn't added to the roster with the (Bucs') top 10-15 prospe...

<t>The Pirates will have the 31st pick (pending FA signings) to go with their 10th overall pick in the 2018 draft - per the good folks at PP.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> That should net a talented player to add to the farm this summer.  As a point of reference, Ke'Bryan Hayes was the 32nd overall pick in...

<t>Assuming no Kang:<br/> <br/> So, I don't think they should go after Todd Frazier. And they won't be in the bidding for Moustakas. But what about seeing if they can bring back hometown guy Neil Walker to play 3rd? He's played there a little. He can also spell Jay Hay at 2nd. Freese can get a start...

<t>I think they have to trade him in the offseason. I'm assuming he will not (and should not) take a discounted offer to stay if one is even presented. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Originally, I thought they might keep him for 18 if the FO really believes they can compete. I'm not sure what other roster ...
