It’s refreshing to see someone as excited to join the Pirates as @jakemangum15. Love his enthusiasm and the way he’s embracing Pittsburgh already.

The Astros, Pirates and Rays are in serious discussions about a trade that would send right-hander Mike Burrows to Houston, infielder Brandon Lowe to Pittsburgh and involve multiple other players, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me.

If the Pirates were willing to go $30M+ for Schwarber they should be in on Bo Bichette who doesn’t seem to have a great market right now. MLBTR projected him for $26M per of 8 years. Do it Ben. Let’s get crazy.

If I’m being honest I have more interest in Suarez and O’Hearn than Murakami and Okamoto

We have selected RHP Carter Baumler from the Orioles AAA roster in the MLB portion of the Rule 5 Draft and traded him to the Rangers for RHP Jaiker Garcia and cash considerations.

Even after agreeing to terms with Pete Alonso, sources say the Orioles remain engaged with the top end of the starting pitching market. The Orioles have had talks with free agent LHP Framber Valdez. @MLBNetwork

The Pirates’ offer for Schwarber had a slightly higher AAV than what he signed for with the Phillies, according to a source. They were also on hold a bit waiting to see if he would accept. What I’m hearing about what areas they’re targeting now. mlb.com/pirates/news/pirates…

Pirates seek big upgrade after missing in pursuit of Schwarber

ORLANDO, Fla. – It was a big swing in free agency, but alas, a whiff. Kyle Schwarber is returning to the Phillies on a five-year, $150 million deal. The Pirates were in the running for Schwarber this...

There’s really no reason for the Pirates not to offer a similar deal to Pete Alonso. Schwarber a better fit overall but Alonso is younger, will be cheaper, doesn’t have a QO and could have just as big an impact.

That was fun but this was always what was going to happen. Time to switch course.

That’s… that’s a pretty legit offer No I still don’t think he signs with the Pirates but that’s not bad

“The Pirates’ four-year offer to free-agent designated hitter Kyle Schwarber was in the $120 million range,” - The Athletic’s @Ken_Rosenthal.
