Exactly. They don't think much of the pitching they currently have both at the top and the guys in the minors if they are this serious about more pitching with the position player situation they have as well.

They can buy low on Petty in a trade with the Reds. He had a rough start but didn't we like him before? Bannister could work with him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be completely fine with Petty + their comp pic. plus no more Robert which may be the best part of the deal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had months and months of attemptng to trade Robert and nothing good enough to accept, yet. Maybe Carlos Rodriguez has some fresh ideas/relationships to plumb? At any rate, this is like the endless arguments about Fairbanks and why he ultimately will get more than 1/$11...that number will be 2/$20-24 instead.
