Agreed. That is not enough and it's the wrong thing. They need a pitcher now. Not a stud CF in that will be ready in 3 years.

Bad. I hope he isn't the main return.

Throw in Trea Turner and I will listen.

I think there is more value in just keeping him if that is the case.

I'm not sure I like this recent trend of selling low on our big pieces.

Yep. Jason Stark is reporting that the Nats want to close the deal today because they need to make a decision about non tendering Espinosa by tomorrow. He said in addition to Robles the deal would include one of the Nats pitching prospects that is close to ML ready

Personally I would prefer the Dodgers top 2 prospects (DeLeon & Bellinger)

The more I read, the more I like Robles. He really does seem like another (much younger) McCutchen. He's got a good bit of pop for how young he is.

But that still doesn't solve the glaring problem right now. There has to be effective pitching coming back.

Twitter tells me either Giolito or Lopez and Robles. Pirates want one more person though.

Robles and Giolito I would do.

NH hold out for that starting pitcher we need to put into the rotation now! Washington wants Cutch bad, make them pony up!

FYI, I feel sorry for Cutch going to Nats. I would not want to play with hot shot Harper...He is too full of himself in my opinion...But they are competitive team

Beat'em Bucs

Reports of Robles, Reynaldo "Starling" Lopez plus a lower level prospect. Would rather see Robles and Giolito
