The Pirates are willing to listen to offers for Gerrit Cole; the Yankees and Pirates match up well for potential deals at this juncture, as sources confirm; Brian Cashman and Neal Huntington have an extensive trade history. Time will tell. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/940328475730350080

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Why does that turn you off when it's more control than we have of Jose? I certainly understand wanting to hang onto Abreu but this seems like an odd reason to be turned off by JBJ. To me the sox are looking at possibly trading avi and or abreu cause they only have 2 yrs left and it seems they are looking for 2020 to be their competing point. If you get back Bradley you get 1 yr in your start of competing then you lose him to free agency cause he a boras client.

I hope this brings other teams like the Rockies around with more depth in the system. Rockies are losing cargo and could move Desmond to outfield and open up 1st base

The White Sox would love to keep Abreu as a leader . As Jon said they will listen and react if the package is robust with top talent. https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/935918427394408453

plan is for ohtani to be posted friday. interested teams must commit to paying the nippon ham fighters 20M. ohtani hasn't been about the $ but the teams with the most international $ to spend are tex (3.53M), nyy (3.5M), minn (3M), pitts (2M) and sfg (1.8M). https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/935573224976539648
