Traded to the Mariners.

I don't like this. What is this love affair the Pirates have with Locke. They should just DFA Locke. Instead they trade Caminero so that Locke can go to the pen. Now the bullpen is overstocked with lefties. Granted, Caminero has struggled at times with his control this year, but I would still rather see him with his 100+ MPH heater than the soft tossing Locke

They were both bad. At least one of them is gone now. I'm sure it was easier to find a taker for Caminero than Locke.

Don't think this move has anything to do with Locke or clearing roster space. May have been trying to pass Caminero through revocable waivers and he got plucked by Seattle. Thankfully, they worked out a trade. They could be trying to clear Locke for all we know.

One report also mentions besides the player to be named, a conditional player to be named later. Sounds like it is a two for one trade.

In return for Arky Caminero, #Pirates have a choice of a single player or can choose from two players on an agreed-upon list, per source.

Steve19981's interpretation:

Choice of one C+ pitching prospect or two C prospects

maybe it will be a wash with who the team traded for Nova

Wonder what the chances are that they'll take two and send them on to the Yankees for the PTNLs in the Nova deal?

edit: you beat me to it Ec!
