If the Pirates want another cheap OF option I think Max Kepler would make a lot of sense. If you could come away with Kepler and Suarez still, this lineup would be fun

Brandon's a Bucco. Prepare the Allegheny.

Four years Grayson Rodriguez is worth one year of Taylor Ward at $11 million but three years of Shane Baz is worth Slater de Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, Austin Overn and a Competitive Balance Round A pick?

We are back with our 12 Days of Christmas giveaways! REPOST THIS now for a chance to win a signed Paul Skenes baseball!

Gimme your Lowe jersey number prediction: 6, 7, 13, 17, 18, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 35, 41, 46, 51, 53, 54, 56, 58, 59 I’ll go 24. 6, 13, 18 are my other sneaky ones

Who’d we CUT?????????

OFFICIAL: We have acquired 2B Brandon Lowe, LHP Mason Montgomery, and OF Jake Mangum from the Rays and have traded RHP Mike Burrows to the Astros as part of a three-team deal.

The scariest thought for me as a batter is facing Yesavage 2-3 times then getting Rogers my next at bat. The Pirates are starting to build some of those different looks and that’s all I ever wanted

The Pirates have hired Mario Ferretti as their International Scouting Coordinator. He spent the last three years with the San Francisco Giants as a Baseball Operations Analyst. He started in pro ball with the Pirates doing scouting work during the 2022 calendar year

Absolutely fired up to get to work for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I’m going to give yall everything I got! Looking forward to building new relationships and getting to know the Pittsburgh community. Let’s get to work! Raise the Jolly Roger! 🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Brito at 16M while Montgomery is 2.5M seems like a flaw in the model

The Pirates hit 117 home runs all of last season. Adding Lowe and Eugenio Suarez would count for 80 last season

I think you still have to use this trade to convince a bigger name to sign here. Gotta end up with 1 of Realmuto, Suarez, O’Hearn, Okamoto or Murakami now

As for starters, the 2 names that I’ve thought made the most sense all off-season have been Nestor Cortes and Justin Verlander. Other fits I like Tyler Anderson Walker Buehler Zach Eflin Jose Quintana

I wonder who gets DFA’d after the deal is official. 42 on the 40 right now

The Pirates have 3 nasty lefties in the bullpen with Montgomery, Sisk, Soto. This feels like a dream

Pirates are trading for Brandon Lowe as apart of a three-team trade with the Astros and Rays

Pirates also would receive outfielder Jake Mangum and left-hander Mason Montgomery from Rays
