"Mets reached out to Cardinals late last week for permission to talk to GM Michael Girsch about the opening to run baseball ops in Queens, according two sources. He elected to stay with the Cardinals, a team source confirmed." - Goold

I'd have done the same. Girsch stays with a solid organization that's always had a plan instead of joining a group that's seemed scatter-brained for years.

It'll be harder this year. Ben doesn't have anybody.

The PPG has an article about the Pirates post season plans.

I just read it. What do you think of the mentioning of possibly bringing back Cutch or Marte as a fourth outfielder?

Dave, how's that PREVIGEN working?

)))) We all mess up. I don't think Ben brought those two guys up. I don't think the reporter asked him, either. Knows better.

Different article.

Even Shed knows better. Marte- fourth in The Burgh? Come on. That's like asking Tomlin if he's thinking of coaching in college.

IT is in the PG- Mike Persak's article- " Free Agents who would make sense for the Pirates".

If you clicked on the link that Possum posted, this is what it brings up: Pirates general manager Ben Cherington talks free agency, coaching vacancies and Yoshi Tsutsugo's possible return.

As for the article you're asking about:

I cant believe that there's a writer alive- anywhere- who would think that the Pirates would even consider paying Marte....OR that Marte would go anywhere, let alone Pittsburgh, to play fourth outfielder.

Cutch? I don't see the Pirates paying him what other teams would offer. I don't see where he would fit in to the outlook of the team. Cherington's on the youth movement- and, all that goes with it.

I don't think much of that writer after reading that.
