Archer to Pirates for Meadows/Glasnow/Baz

[And That]

 

Real account this time.

[KeithStone53151]

What a package that is, hard pass. To match that, we probalby have to include Burnes or Hiura and at least 2 good prospects.

TRADE DEADLINE IS BREAKING BF.NET!

They can have him for that price.

[ecjimg]

I think Glasnow can pretty much be put in the failed prospect category. Awful as a starter, now awful as a reliever.

 

edit before I get "jumped on" (it happens here a lot to others). He actually hasnt been THAT bad in relief. He was supposed to be a top to mid rotation starter, though. Doesnt look like that is happening.

[B-Train]

DS staying true to the plan by not giving up that kind of package for a risky pitcher.

[Eye Black]

I think sweeping the Brewers over that five games series heading into the All-Star Break may ultimately cost the Pirates more than it gained them.

[PeaveyFury]

I had the same thought, Eye Black.

[jjfanec]

Are people still mad not getting Archer after seeing that price? Wow. And I wanted archer

[TexasCheesehead]

I'm glad the Brewers didn't get Archer. Pirates look like they gave up too much.

[pacopete4]

The Pirates are a bunch of fools. So glad we have Stearns.

[TURBO]

Whew....we dodged a bullet. No interest in this guy. Glad it wasn't us who over payed.

Feel like this would be very similar to Santana/Woodruff

[B2k1121]

I'm not sure I get all the people amazed over the package the Pirates gave up. Aren't both of those guys fading top prospects with the pitcher pretty close to be a disappointment already? What am I missing here?

If you included Hiura to it, then yes

[coolhandluke121]

So they sell low on Cole and McCutchen just to turn around and do this...

 

As a Brewers fan, I'm very happy to see the Pirates and Cardinals trip all over themselves in the last year. They both had pretty bright futures and could have been great up-and-comers in the central in a few years. They still could be, but I think it's going to take them a while to recover from some of their recent blunders.

Stearns and Counsell playing 3D chess! Let the Pirates win so they mortgage their future.

Eh, more like Hiura/Woodruff but the question is who the 3rd piece is - a significant prospect, or a proverbial lottery ticket.

Add me to the list of those who agree with you.

[82brewcrew82]

Word is that the third piece is significant.

It goes the other way too--it may have helped the Brewers avoid a similar blunder.

[brewmann04]

the brewers sweep gave the pirates a false sense of playoffs

Heck, Stearns may have been involved in Archer solely to jack up the price.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

The Pirates are so stuck in the middle, they have no idea how to get out of it. They are the Herb Kohl Bucks of the division.
