caulfield12 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Pirates are not the team you deal with here...it needs to be one of those Big 12 large market teams that can both absorb bigger contracts and also simultaneously afford to sacrifice promising position prospects.

Expand Team India! Great marketing opportunity, Brooks! But could we please accrue some outfielders rather than a plethora of 2B who probably can't play SS or if they can play SS can't hit much better than Esteban Beltre or Mike Caruso?

WestEddy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Teams having spring training in Arizona have been encouraged by what they’ve seen from Luis Robert through his very limited sample size. White Sox are reporting to interested teams that he is fully healthy and has no limitations.
