This week the Pirates will sign Donovan Solano for 3.5 million per year on a one-year deal with a club option for a second year at 5 million and Noah Snydergaard to a major league deal for the league minimum for one year.
I'll bite with zero confidence. They will sign a starting pitcher - I will officially guess Manaea with Fedde as the non official guess. I think they will NOT sign a first basemen yet as I see that as a January thing. So that will be my official entry. Other things I think may happen but I don't have names. I do think they will take a pitcher of some type in the Rule 5 draft and there will be at least noise on a trade for a SP but it won't be finalized next week.
I’m like 100% wrong on every prediction I’ve ever made, but that is not gonna stop me! Peguero to the Marlins for one of their lefty starters (Rogers/Weathers.)
The Rogers from a few years ago. Luckily I had that Rogers on my fantasy baseball team. I saw some article on another lesser Pirate sight proposing Tank for Emerson Hancock.
Oneil Cruz is hopefully entirely healed and ready to lead the Pirates this year. However, the only MLB-legit backup at SS is Liover Peguero. Cannot see the benefit of that trade.
Of course not, but if we are not gonna paid for the going rate for a starter we have to give up something....is a gamble, if Cruz plays the way we hope then Gonzales, Williams or even Triolo could back up SS.🤞🏽
I’m guessing this will be a “busier“ week, I’m guessing at least one fairly big trade and one legit FA signing.
Define “legit.”
As the Pirates would define it, someone making more than $5 MM yearly.
I say let's throw our predictions out there now and see who comes closest. And furthest away. Or not. Don't want to seem bossy.

Think one of the middle infielders to the Marlins for a starter seems fairly reasonable. Blackburn of the Athletics seems reasonable too.

I don't think Mackey isn't being particularly kind with that kind of speculation.
