Pirates acquire Chris Stratton.

[Bobster21]

Stratton was DFA's by the Angels with an 8.59 ERA. He's been in 7 games and all of them were very bad. The deal was for "cash considerations." I'd rather see Brault and Kingham pitch.

Well, he does meet the #1 requirement to be acquired by the Buccos. He's cheap! Making just above the MLB min salary.

I guess the Angels want cash instead of Clay Holmes.

I am going to guess that whenever Stratton arrives, either Holmes or Neverauskas gets sent down. I hope they don’t send down DaRapu.

This definitely qualifies as a “meh” move. My bigger concern is this...what are they not saying about Kela, Burdi, and Taillon that they need to get this guy?

I saw where the Blue Jays traded for Edwin Jackson today. Not sure he'd be an upgrade, but I thought it was pretty interesting that this will be the 14th team he has played for (a record).

This kind of move drives me crazy. What is the point of adding someone who has had little to no success. The Pitching staff especially the bullpen is currently in shambles due to injuries.

Miraculously the Bucs have kept their head above water.

Spend some friggin money and get some quality

Who saw a week or so ago that this is where we'd be

Stratton picked up the win today with a scoreless inning.
