The Pirates have acquired 29 yo Bryce Brentz OF from the Red Sox for cash. He has played in 34 MLB games, and was the AAA home run derby winner last year.

Going into 2013 Brentz was the #6 prospect in the Sox org, and accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Yankees picked their desired utility IF and his last name isn’t Harrison.

I hope rays fans enjoy relievers with crappy fastball that routinely get smashed for extra base hits. ooponents ops against his fastball was 988 last season. 988!

I wish the Pirates put this much effort into getting legit outfield options when Marte was suspended for half the **** season last year.
2018 Pittsburgh Pirates In-Season Thread
also this is why i didn't bother with predicting a record yet.. I'd still assume another move or two will be made

Add in a "+/- 1 win" qualifier to account for the big time moves coming and you'll be all setalso this is why i didn't bother with predicting a record yet.. I'd still assume another move or two will be made

Let's not get crazy here. Dickerson is making $5.95MM, Hudson is making $5.5MM, and the Pirates are sending $1MM to the Rays in the deal. This trade essentially added $1.45MM to the payroll. Still not in bank breaking mode.sign Lance Lynn or Alex Cobb and see what happens

Lol I'm not adjusting any record guess. They're going to dump Harrison and maybe Freese.
2018 Pittsburgh Pirates In-Season Thread
Yes and no. So Lance Lynn, not that they're signing him, is say a 3 WAR player.. and he'll replace a 1 WAR or replacement level player.. only giving them 2-3 wins mathematically.. but I've been on record before when discussing Hurdle that so much of a 162 game season is mental/clubhouse/motivation that I think a signing like that really would be a boost to everyone and help a lot more than just the numbers suggest.Add in a "+/- 1 win" qualifier to account for the big time moves coming and you'll be all setalso this is why i didn't bother with predicting a record yet..
