Hell of a job by Cherington, I was convinced they were adding more on top of Burrows. Between this deal and the Oviedo/Garcia trade, it's really showing how crazy overpriced starting pitching is right now.

  1. I’m a massive Pirates realist/skeptic and baseball fan first. You can go through my comment history showing me bashing the FO and ownership not spending enough, or being too complacent.

    With that said, this is a massive W for the Pirates. Nick Gonzalez is simply not as good at hitting as we initially thought, and this gives 2B a huge power boost, which is what this team was needing. On top of that, you get more flexibility with Gonzo at SS until Griffin gets up here.

    Burrows was also probably our weakest “young pitching prospect” that we had the honor of trading.

  2. lol this seems too good to be true. I am pumped but also cautiously pessimistic that Burrows will now become a future Cy Young winner
