MLB offices normally close for the Holidays so expect it is false for know. Maybe after New Years.

I don't like it. Diaz was rumored too. I kind of forgot about Diaz as a trading chip.

Giving up McCutchen and Glasnow - ugh!

I have a hard time taking this proposed deal seriously. Why would the Pirates want Gardner? He's owed in excess of $36M over the next 3 years. Just doesn't make sense to me that they would take on that kind of salary for that length of contract when Meadows is waiting in the wings.

ML Trade Rumors hasn't mentioned this yet. If it was even a legitimate rumor (can there be such a thing?) they would have posted it.

There is no way that rumor is true. Think about it: Cutch, Glasnow, Newman, all for Quintana and Gardner? I think not.

I don't think that makes sense for the Pirates and especially not for the Yankees.

No way this is true.

Not that I'm defending the rumor, but I wanted to point out a portion of the quote that might be relevant here:

Pirates get Quintana ,Gardner and cash

It would have to be a good chunk of cash to make this happen, but then, the Yankees are involved.

Still leaves the question of Meadows, doesn't it?

I don't think this trade makes us much better for this season or in the future.

If I'm trading Cutch or for Quintana, I would do them in separate deals.

Also, I agree with the point,about MLB trade rumors.

If this is hanging out there, they would have reported it.

Some names are being tossed around in a three team deal with the Yankees getting McCutchen.

Glasnow, Keller, and Diaz are the Pirates prospects leaving for Quintana.

I would expect more in return for those four players. Twitter has a deal heating up, but I am not familiar with the main source.

MLB Trade rumors chat said Quintana would cost this:

Glasnow or Meadows would have to front the package. It'd take multiple MLB-ready pieces... say Glasnow and one of Kuhl/Brault, perhaps, then another pair of really solid prospects. He's every bit as valuable as Chris Sale was.
