@The_EarlyShift Thinking the same thing. Build as smart as possible for this year, with a goal of finishing above .500 and staying competitive, knowing that 27 could be a full wash, with a real eye on 28.

@garymo2007 Kellyball says you let the prospect learn by watching while you play Billy Cook

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@ThePoniExpress We don't need a 1B.
Arraez and Chapman are who I want from this list. Get guys on base for O'Hearn, Lowe, Reynolds and Cruz to drive in while Chapman slams the door shut!

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@Jason_Shetler Detmers would be great.
Bubic and Strahm are who I want from the Royals.
Strahm strengthens the bullpen with Stratton, Bubic could serve a Mlod roll, where he gives you 3 to 4 innings and is followed by Jones/Keller for another 3 to 4, saving the bullpen.

@mibrardragon Can we just get MLW in on this already?

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@NPB_Reddit About time this came up!

Though a combined Japan/Taiwan/South Korea league would be insane!

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@TheDrainmaker MJF subtly inserting tension into the group with his lines to Knight and Fletcher.

Kyle trying not to crack the whole time and Cage flexing in the background were pretty funny.

@CAF_Online has to be thrilled with the #WorldCup results through the first game.

2 Wins, 4 Draws, 3 Losses.

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@JDfromNY206 Yeah, I agree. Money match was there, now it's not.

Can you do it later, with bigger stakes, at a bigger show? Sure.

But why not now?

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@WrestlingHumble My hip exploded watching that

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@DTonPirates If he can get above .200 by mid-July with 10 HR's or there about, he's a good tradable asset

@spencer_askew I hate flopping in soccer as much as I do in basketball

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@JoshPhillipsPhD Yet another in my list of issues with the Catholic church

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@horwitzisking 3B: Gonzalez
SS: Griffin
2B: Lowe/Arraez
1B: Arraez/O'Hearn
DH: Horowitz

(I'm not ruling out the Pirates trading Lowe while his value is high TBH)

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

The @Royals have some solid left handers the @Pirates could use in the starting rotation and bullpen in the form of Matt Strahm and Kris Bubic...

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Free at ESPN: The top 100 trade candidates before the Aug. 3 deadline -- with the likelihood they move and potential landing spots. @kileymcd and I will be updating this list periodically as the deadline approaches to reflect teams' evolving statuses. https://t.co/4DX6hlcWkx

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@JeffPassan @kileymcd Wouldn't mind the Pirates picking up Reid Detmers, but only if we can offload Keller as part of the deal.

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@SeanRossSapp Exactly what companies do when they're looking to sell. Cut people to boost the bottom line so they can sell for more.

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

What would it take for the @Pirates to get Matt Chapman from the @SFGiants?

1B/DH Ozuna
C Bart
CF Garcia
1 or 2 draft picks

Both teams salary dump some players, Giants get some pieces/picks they can flip or keep.

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

When was the last time the @pirates had 4 players with 10 HR's or more before the All Star Break?
If Horowitz hits another, it'll be 5.

[John Pannebaker @johnpDWYL]

@Jason_Shetler He's certainly making his case.
Davis has a terrible BA but the staff likes him.
Bart was starting to show glimpses of offense again before going down.
I'm actually a bit torn on who to roster, and we haven't considered Flores yet.
