According to this site:



https://bucconation.wordpress.com/2016/ ... -pitchers/



The bucs have inquired about Tampa's SPs.

I think a move to the NL might do wonders for any of them (Archer, Smyly, Odorizi, Moore).

haha lol, I just follow twitter pretty close :D



Seriously, I think the buccos should get a SP and I think they will. I really like Taillon and Glasnow, but that's tough to build on them to lead us to and in the playoffs, with all the inning limits nowadays.

I think we should just give the kids a chance. We have been waiting for them to come of age, why trade them for rental guys or guys with only one year of arib. left.

Wouldn't those cost controlled years just up the price TB asks for him? This is a really costly time of the year to be a buyer and the perfect time for the seller to get a steal.

Why not ask him the winning numbers of the next powerball instead. I can tell you that you will NOT win it without using a crystal ball!



Keep the rumors and inside info coming! I don't ge much opportunity to check other sites. So it is always Nice to get a digest of info and discussion (hopefully)when I check in here

But we're currently what, like one game over .500? If it's just a rental for the rest of the season I'm not so sure that I'm interested.

If Tampa was willing to trade him, I do not want him.  A team would not trade a young, cheap pitcher if there was nothing wrong with him, I do not care what prospects you are sending back.



Moore and Smyly might actually have something wrong with them. 





Maybe the Pirates see something in those two. Makes sense to find someone that will be around next year as well.
