No need to just give top prospects away for a 4th starter. Hope Neal Huntington comes out from under his desk and talks Tampa Bay into a deal that helps both teams. Having Moore to go along with Cole, Liriano and then Tallion and Kuhl or Brault or Glasnow makes for a decent looking staff. Our starting pitching would be competitive. Hoping better days are ahead for the Pirate Faithful!
Oh heavens, you can't read everything posted here (I don't) and I've felt no disrespect at all.
My bump was "shameless" because I'm wrong so often I need to take one of my few ideas that seems to have merit and parade it around to ensure I feel good about myself once and awhile.
In the end I think we know NH will do something that none of us has thought of, like Happ last year. I do know that we have money as I remember when the season started the Brass said they wanted some financial flexibility when the deadline came this year. Someone correct me, but my recollection was we have a team salary of around $95M and a budget up to $105M.
What About Matt Moore?
