I like Glasnow and think he still could become special. However, I like this trade because by the time he would become special, he would be at the point of leaving.

<t>Is there anyone really out there that excites you and would really help the Pirates make the playoffs and make a run in the playoffs? I like Happ but I don't think he really excites me that he will make the pirates legitimate. That should be NH's job to search and find a piece to help this team. ...

<t>It is too bad that the Machado trade happened before the win streak. Based upon the rankings of the players the dodgers gave up, the Pirates could have possibly topped it without hurting the future too much. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I agree an upgrade at ss would be big but I am still fixated on t...

<t>DeGrom probably is a pipe dream but he would add so much and not just for this year. The system is pretty deep. I think we know how cheap the team has been and as fans we have over valued our prospects. Of the trades the Pirates made over the years they made the playoffs have they traded anyone t...

But just for the sake of argument, let's say they would. DeGrom is arb eligible the next 2 years and a FA in 2021. So ...

<t>I need to win the lottery and quit my job. This streak started when I took a road trip with my wife to Manhattan. We left on Wednesday, July 11th and came back on the Monday before the All star game. Then on Friday, I went to visit my brother in Chicago and left Deal Moines before noon on Friday ...

<t>I will always be thankful for Hurdle getting the team to a winning record. I think he was the right guy to get that done. However, I don't think he is the right guy to get this team to being a real contender. They have played undisciplined for several years with numerous base running and fielding...

<t>The Pirates are only 4 games under .500 and I do want to remain optimistic but I have been asking myself what do I want to see if/once the season is gone. Here are a list of things I want to see:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 1: Osuna getting significant playing time. If that means sitting Bell or sendi...
