Wasn't he suggesting (tweeting/blogging) Quintana to Pirates for Glasnow or Meadows + another mid-tier prospect? When it was all said and done, they gave up a lot more for Archer a year later. Looking back at it, would we have preferred Glasnow, Meadows and Baz for Quintana instead of Eloy and Cease? I like our return better but I'm biased.

I like our return better but I'm biased. Glasnow > Cease and Eloy > Meadows. All things considered I think it's pretty even.

I like our return better but I'm biased. Iirc a deal around Glasnow and Meadows was actually the White Sox request. The pirates balked, and held onto both guys, only to have the value of both decrease when they got to the big leagues and had normal early struggles. They then traded them at their low point in value.

July 22, 20214 yr Something about Rutherford just screams Pittsburgh Pirate. Its like its meant to be. Ill drive him there myself.
July 22, 20214 yr Rutherford has literally zero value at this point. To be honest, I doubt he survives the offseason on our 40 man roster. He literally doesn’t bring a single plus tool to the table.

July 23, 20214 yr Rutherford actually started hot and has been hot for 2 weeks which lets you know how terrible the in between was.
July 23, 20214 yr Here's another ridiculous ask on the twitters if y'all are in for another good chuckle.
