how do you know he's going to be special without him ever taking the mound in a big league game? There have been loads of "special" guys across teams over the years that never panned out.  Reynolds is proven and elite and fits two glaring needs.  Do the trade. People are acting like Reynolds is just some better than average type guy that's only worth a couple mid 40's prospects or something. It's hilarious.  If he was on the Yankees or Dodgers he would be considered a top player in all of baseball and a household name to the casual fan.

Eurys ceiling is top 10 pitcher. He just turned into 19. You don’t trade that

how will he help the team more than Reynolds?

 

 

 

My question about the Reynolds trade is not should we trade Eury or Cabrera or whoever, my question was, the Pirates are currently asking for a ridiculous haul, where's the line where its too much and not worth giving in for or is there not a line and it doesn't matter the cost?

So Cueto will sign with the Padres and Chapman with the Mets. Good to know.

You're crazy undervaluing Reynolds. Who in your mind is worth a 1:1 swap for Eury?

the line is whenever the Pirates feel he is no longer worth having.

The Pirates basically dont want to trade Brian Reynolds unless some team were to meet their demands.  They really have zero incentive to trade Brian Reynolds as it is in spite of what some feel is the case. 

why do we need  Cueto ? besides giving some peace to @TaiwanCheaters ?

They need to move on from Reynolds if the ask is too much

What about Bryan Reynolds?  Is he available?

The idea is you sign Cueto, and then you have a vet innings eater pitcher that can offset the loss of one of your starters for a bat.

Also becomes a nice trade piece if you're out of it (likely) and he's had a modicum of success that season.

I believe this team is smart enough to sign Cueto first and then take their time to make a best trade.

This would be the best scenario [at this point]. Even if we don't make a trade after signing him, then we have depth and a veteran arm for innings.

Yup, but Ng would be fired if no trade happened.

Trading eury for reynolds is short-sighted. If we were going to trade eury they should’ve tried to make a package with him in it and gone for Soto
