Not going to happen but f*** it, sign Naylor to a 4-5 year deal. Dude isn’t going to get a huge deal, hits left-handed, doesn’t cost a draft pick.

Ramos is quickly becoming forgettable. We’ll see how he comes into camp.

Let’s wait until if we have too many good hitting MLB ready OFs before we start thinking of moving one.

Agreed.

They kind of had a crunch of infields they played at 1B anyway. Not that I think either Sosa nor Vargas is a longterm solution there.

Yeah, it seems he is more likely to be crushing homers in Japan or Korea in 2 years than in an organization.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to remove him from the 40-man then, unless there’s some rule about that now that he’s had surgery

Not sure what that has to do with Pirates horrible offense that they will not add to this offseason but ok.

And Paul Skenes went 10-10 with an era under 2. Need to score more runs. This

So you think it would make sense to trade a guy like Robert when you're trading for a guy like Varsho?

Yeah a lie would be: this team is going to be competitive the next 3 seasons haha that would be a lie people working for the team would say.

You don’t think saying that “they’re going to suck for 3 years” isn’t being honest?

Duh. They're not going to spend much this offseason or next (prior to lock out).

Plus, the injuries to the usual suspects.

Yeah, especially when you factor in that he’d be moving to a corner spot most likely if he were here.

Right? And even toss in about how they should be allowed to interview for the GM job? Craaaazy

We need more teams out West.

I kinda wish they would have actually been serious about adding good players and signed George Springer to play RF before the 2021 season rather than corpse of Adam Eaton.

The perfect argument that a GM does in fact matter. Not the token “we can’t criticize Getz because Jerry won’t let him spend” argument.

Yes

Thank god there is still plenty to cut.

But someone pointed out that there is a rule that they have to be active for at least 90 days otherwise they are eligible to be taken in the R5 the next season. So doing that doesn't really do anything it seems. Unless I read or understand that wrong.

Shane Smith didn’t have TJ surgery the April before.

Exactly. He’s allowed the GM to spend money to try to compete. The deals haven’t worked out. Does that fall more on the guy building the team?

And worth pointing out that MiLB season still happens, except for players on 40-man rosters. I looked this up before because I was curious.
