But we're currently what, like one game over .500? If it's just a rental for the rest of the season I'm not so sure that I'm interested.
What I like about Archer is that it wouldn't be a one year rental. He's under a reasonable contract thru 2021 (age 32) but can be bought out after 2019 if he's not pitching well.
Pirates interested in Tampa's starting pitchers?

Yeah, I like the idea but Archer would demand a haul I imagine centered on Austin Meadows or something like that, even ever this disappointing season.

I'd be up for that conversation. That seems like a pretty fair start for both teams.

That could be 3 seasons of bad pitching, and premium prospects traded away. I do not see any chance of the Pirates trading for Archer.

I would love to have Archer pitching for the Pirates. He has to be one of the top Starting Pitchers on the market. I just assume Archer would be in demand and be priced out for the Pirates.
I still expect a veteran like Happ and Rodriguez that they traded for in the past. Huntington has never moved a major prospect and has done very well in his trading. I just think Archer (or Teharan) would have huge asking prices.
