The trade was fake news! God damn it!!!

Never trade with the Pirates or Orioles. Two back assed organizations whose word is no good.

Yup. Pirates especially seem really gunshy to do anything.

It's not just that, the GM is negotiating in bad faith because he doesn't have authority to make the deal

They are in a horrible situation. They blew their run with a bunch of WC losses, now the team is starting to slip, they lost their Korean 3B because he's a bad drunk and can't get a visa, and if they trade McCutchen it'd be like the Cubs trading Ernie Banks in 1966 - justified but a fan base disaster.

Pittsburgh Pirates fans are like Blackhawks fans. There is a small core of dedicated fans, and a big bandwagon which rolls out for a while about once every 15 years.

Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.

Dave Cameron is going to work for the Padres.

If the cost of winning is hiring bloggers then I dont want to win.

GD is happy!

I wonder how cheap they got him? 6M??

Miguel Gonzalez is a perfect fit for the 2018 White Sox. He should perform decently, eat up some innings, shouldn't not cost much, and he won't block any of the young guys. Great deal by Hahn.

Very happy with the move. He was tradeable last year when they wanted to move him and pitched competently while here. He had that little bout of injury which tainted his numbers but I could very easily see him match 2016 numbers

Meh

I wonder whether some of these top free agents are going to hold out until next year's draft just to try to get top dollar by eliminating the supplemental draft picks that come with them.

what the fuck?

cubs are a third team that's talked about gerrit cole lately. yanks and astros have more prospects, which may give them an edge. but pirates wouldn't mind getting MLB players back, too.

Skitzo...

addison reed has a deal with the twins, as @Ken_Rosenthal reported. he said two years, close to 17M

Damn that's a good deal for them. If they can land one of these starters they have a chance to be pretty damn good.

Giants get McCutchen.

Giants, Pirates Agree To Andrew McCutchen Trade https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/01/ ... iants.html …

The Pirates and Giants are in agreement on a trade that will send outfielder Andrew McCutchen from Pittsburgh to San Francisco, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic tweets. The deal is pending a physical. Jon Heyman and Robert Murray of FanRag had recently reported that talks between the two sides were intensifying.

Good to Pittsburgh actually do something for once.
