The Orioles are the last team we need to be trading with. Ugh! Just relaying It would depend the player they want? in my mind I would be intereasted in Mancini, Givens, Fry and maybe Bundy. But man that teams is bad. Like really bad. They need real help |

Is it time to start looking for a Starting Pitcher yet? No. I disagree with you there. We don't need to do something stupid regarding starting pitching, but adding a proven veteran even on a short-term rental basis would give us some very nice depth. We're an injury away from having two prospects in the starting rotation. |

We're an injury away from having two prospects in the starting rotation. Timing is everything, Saint. Actively seeking a Starting Pitcher right now means it would come at a premium price. Also, the sooner you buy, the more risk you have of that pitcher being injured while he's on YOUR payroll. The beginning of July is when the market starts to develop. You'll have a better idea of who might be offered then. There could be teams who are targeting a WC slot right now who will shift to sell mode then.
Of course that doesn't mean the GM should turn away any phone calls from teams who want to sell right now. But ... the time to buy is in July.

Sure, I'm not saying we need somebody tomorrow, but I think it's fair to put feelers out now and start working on potential plans. |

Im still staying away from MadBum.

Would rather try for someone with years of control.
If your gonna give up talent you mine aswell get so.ething good for it.
Taillon would be ideal

Guys, I know you don’t want to believe it, but Nate is right. Why trade good prospects for a declining veteran starter who also demands a lucrative contract extension? It makes little sense.

Ill beat it to the ground i think who ever gets him will get buyers remorse for the rest of the year when the prospects the giants get are gonna be pretty decent. I say it alot Taillon, Stroman, Sanchez players like that. Even Calib Smith... |

1 - Pittsburgh is only one game back in the NL Wild Card race. They migh be sellers at the deadline, hard to say. They sure aren't sellers right now. 2 - Taillon is currently on the DL-60* Not due to return to the mound until at least the beginning of July. 3 - He's pre-arb, as in minimum wage, not a veteran on an expensive contract. Cheap to keep and three more years of team control after this season. The Pirates have no reason to deal him unless you offer them oodles in return. Say maybe three or four off the top of your farm. |
