Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

https://nypost.com/2024/02/01/sports/optimism-around-orioles-should-be-high-with-new-ownership/ With these rumors about the Pirates having an interest in Gary Sanchez, I hope the Pirates are not considering trading Henry Davis for a pitcher. I could see them trading Delay as a second or third piece...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

It looks more and more like with each passing day that they’ve decided to fill the rotation with the young guys. They may have concluded the results they’ll likely get will be similar to what any of the remaining free agents will give them. If this is the case then is it true that they’re targeting...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Doc is praying that Kolton Wong doesn't sign with a team in the NL Central :lol: If Wong signs with the Cardinals, he and Carpenter will once again lay waste to the Pirates and cost us six or seven games by themselves. I bet Ben C. is just waiting for Kolton to get a little cheaper and will scoop h...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

With Chapman, it's necessary to differentiate between the 36-year-old version the Pirates acquired and the nearly unhittable younger version we recall from years ago. Between 2012 and 2020 his worst ERA was 3.22 and there were 4 seasons in that span at 2.00 or below. And his worst WHIP during that ...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

They can afford that. The owner chooses not to. The Pirates could afford that and probably had to beat it to be seriously considered by Rodriguez. Maybe he didn't want to sign with Bucs no matter what but the Pirates should have at least made an offer better than Toronto's. Just matching other team...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Yariel Rodriguez signs with Blue Jays for 4/$32mil. Can't believe the Bucs couldn't afford that. They can afford that. The owner chooses not to. The Pirates could afford that and probably had to beat it to be seriously considered by Rodriguez. Maybe he didn't want to sign with Bucs no matter what b...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

There is a report out there today that Rodriguez the Cuban right handed pitcher is closing in on a deal with the Jays. It appears there is an immigration problem which is holding up the deal. I had hoped the Pirates would sign him. Just another disappointment from our Pirates team. We should be use...

Re: International signings

Very disappointing that the Pirates with one of the highest International money pools were only able to sign the 38th and the 50th top prospects. They don’t even invest wisely in this opportunity aren't some of the top 50 still available? I think they could get at least one more and possibly two bu...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

Max Kranick claimed by Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/ ... rates.html Roster still full but agree with others that if there isn't a trade Akila Williams spot is vulnerable.

has that ever been a predictor? Rangers last season?
