Brandon Lowe to the Pirates?!? #mlb #pittsburghpirates #podcast #baseballtalk
The next question from Nick Dog1 Sports on X, what are the odds that the Pirates get Brandon Laauo? To add on to that, how close are they to making a deal? So, not only do we want to get Brandon Laauo stump, but give us the details. What is happening? How close are they to bringing him to Pittsburgh? >> Uh, the last big update I got was at the winner meetings and it was kind of a nothing imminent, but they are very interested type of deal. So [snorts] I don’t know if it’s just both sides waiting each other out or you know seeing if you know one of the other irons on the stove you know gets hot going there but they are very interested in him. Person I talked to had some level of optimism with it. So like it’s not landing Jorge Palano I think makes it more likely just because you know second base is open at the moment. I don’t want to add a percentage or anything to it, but I I would consider it a distinct possibility that they could make a Brandon Loud trade. If they do, the Rays aren’t really in rebuild mode.
