Brandon Lowe to Pirates...is Donovan next?

Post by 67 Husky »

Three team trade Pirates, Rays, Astros. Should open up opportunities for a Donovan move.

As usual, my friend, your analysis is succinct, complete, and on target, as I’ve come to expect! :wink:

Pirates just got a lot better. Mangum will bat in the top of their lineup. Lowe 3rd or 4th.

Pirates probably wanted more than just Donovan for Burrows but that's a young pitcher with high potential to become a fixture in the rotation.

They are having a busy and productive off-season, without doubt.

Depends what Bloom is doing. Did he try to pull off a 3 team deal involving Donovan for Burrows?

Kind of weird they are struggling to move Donovan. Other teams seems to be having success.

I really expected him to be the easiest to be moved.
