South Side Hit Men Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2021/07/30/pittsburgh-pirates-mlb-trade-deadline-rumors-deals-phillies-Braeden-Ogle/stories/202107300118 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ Quote The White Sox have signed reliever Kyle Crick to a minor league deal, reports Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Crick, 28, posted a 4.44 ERA, 19.6 K% and 17.8 BB% in 24 1/3 innings this year, though he was able to avoid allowing any home runs. Crick worked at 92.6 miles per hour this year, up from 2020, but well down from his 95-96 days of 2017-19. The Pirates designated Crick for assignment and ultimately released him earlier this month.

Polar Bear Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 He was so bad Pitt cut him. Why do we want someone that couldn't pitch on one of the worst teams in baseball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got Goodwin from the Pirates after he was cut. We just like picking up their DFA'd players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 OK. Whatever. I'm kinda sick of all the one-upmanship here and the need to get the last word in. Well go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 When I saw Crick was released I thought to myself this is the type of guy they should go after but they never do. Crick has good shit and has performed well in the not too distant past. Relievers are volitile. One small adjustment and he could be a guy that catches fire for a couple months. This is the type of no risk move they need to make often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of no risk move they need to make often. I’m happy with it. No risk, possible reward. He was a 1st rounder and was solid a few years ago. Many pitchers leave Pirates and vastly improve with additional coaching. Hoping Katz can turn him into a bullpen piece this year or next (should be a low cost arb piece if he can show improvement this year).
