Afternoon Post

So we are almost at 200 comments so I figured I would put up a new post.  Here is what we have learned today:


  • The Pirates are still talking about Logan Morrison
    • Ok, sounds like many other teams are as well
  • Mark Trumbo is off of the market
    • Seemed like a long-shot anyway and the cost was quite high
  • The Pirates are still talking to James Loney
    • Pretty much expected at this point
  • The Pirates have shown interest in Eric Chavez
    • Not exactly a great option to platoon at 1st but would at least be a safety net at 3rd
  • A.J. Burnett still doesn't know what he's going to do
    • Shocking
So for another day "Source" is the most popular person at the meetings.  However, there was one big deal and it happened to be at a position that impacts the market for the Pirates.  The one area I could see it hurting them is it weakened the 1st base market without filling a hole for any other team looking for a 1st baseman.
