Would Rivero get you a good third baseman?

Colin Moran keeps coming to mind as a trade target for the Pirates. He is blocked in Houston. I think Rivero is too much for Moran, but I would like to try and get him by some other means

Perhaps Moran and a pitcher with promise (but control issues?)?

I do think Rivero has the value to do that. Have to match it up though .
Or just sign Mostakas or todd Frazier and then you don't need to worry about Rivero being involved.
3/30 would do it. Maybe he would take a 2/23 or something with an option year, but he probably wants that 3rd year
I know the comment about Mostakas and Frazier is sarcasm since it won't happen.

It's sarcasm but I never want to lose sight of the fact that I'm a fan, not an owner
I'll never succum to the Pirates PR trick of convincing fans that we have to lower our expectations.
These threads are interesting from a strategy standpoint, but I won't lose sight of the fact that if we bumped payroll up to 120 /middle of the road....none of this would be necessary. It's a good looking FA class that matches up with our team needs very well
You know,. If we actually tried to win
