The second piece supposedly isn't a good one ... a mid range prospect. That means Crick might be the best part of the return.

3:56pm: The Pirates will receive one additional “mid-range” prospect in return for the final season of Mccutcheon’s deal, tweets USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Ha... looks like the RP is most of the deal.

Now reading that it might be Bryan Reynolds which isn't bad at all.

Passan tweets that outfield prospect Bryan Reynolds may be in the deal as well.

Reynolds, 23 later this month, was the Giants’ second-round pick in 2016 and just wrapped up a strong season in Class-A Advanced, where he hit .312/.364/.462 with 10 homers, 26 doubles and nine triples in 540 trips to the plate. Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com had him fourth among Giants prospects, while Baseball America ranked him fifth among San Francisco farmhands just a few weeks ago (before the Arroyo trade, meaning he’d now rank fourth on their list as well).

Why do we need to beef the relief corps if we're trading off?

Sounds like Reynolds is the deal.

Reynolds appears to be a pretty decent prospect. His arm supposedly sucks though. Everything else is rather promising.

This could actually be a pretty nice return.

this is baffling to me. Why does this team need to keep trying to find bullpen arms?

Why aren't they more successful?
