Interesting, looks like they’re shopping in a tier below Fister and Latos. They’d be too expensive I guess.

As a Cardinal fan I say yes please sign him he is bad and was horrible with the cardinals

As a Red Sox fan I also say yes please sign him. He was horrible with Sox last
year. He would start off okay but got progressively worse after 3rd or 4th inning.

As a pirate fan this would be a great sign, Searage can sprinkle his magic pixie dust on another rehab project. Might not be perfect but low cost for a greater return

Don’t be surprised if Jim Benedict took the dust from Ray when he went to Miami.

You may be right Joe!

Yes but that seems to be all the the Cardinals look far, too. The Pirates may not have the $ but the Cardinals have the money and still choose to pick up the lower than 2nd tier. Masterson was an injured player when they accepted him on a trade. He only deserves a minor league contract as does K Lohse. Then it might be worth taking a chance. 2of the 4 big time pitchers are gone. The Cards have 2 pitchers that are head cases and not dependable. Martinez (injury)and Garcia (stupid play off decision). With Lynn out I think it would be smart to do a deal with Lackey, a proven work horse and competitor. Should the Cards decide to spend the money on Grienke, they at least would have a great pitcher but one that hits better than the entire bench. This would a good pinch hitter.

If any team can fix him, it’s pittsburgh

Take him, please! He’s terrible

Typical move by the PBC! Why are we nickel and diming when the “window is supposed to be open”. Nutting said the money would be there when the Pirates could compete. Sign the check!

Whats baffling is that the Pirates take in roughly $30-40 mill every season from luxury tax money distributed from teams like the Dodger, Red Sox etc, for the sole purpose of being able to reinvest into the team. The Pirates continue to decide to delve into the pool of misfit toys of MLB in hopes that Searage can just waive his magic wand. He’s be great at it, but it won’t always work. This nights tender deadline will say a lot about what the Pirates plan to do with their ever closing window to win a World Series in the near future.

If Pittsburgh gets him I’d take him late in my fantasy draft next year. He’s a great bounce back candidate. That’s without even touching on their history for rehabbing pitchers. Only other team I would consider close to them in that category is Cleveland. Mickey Callaway has a knack for fixing broken pitchers too. Look at Ubaldo and Kazmir while they were in Cleveland.
