[ramfandan]

States Ken Rosenthal ... The offer is 'almost certainly, for at least $100 million.

good to see they're finally making the effort....pitching staff looks awesome. Offense needs work. Last year's FA crop wasn't that great. Skenes' window closing fast.

maybe Konnor Griffin is up in June to make the offense even better.

And they have Jhostynxin Garcia to play CF so they can move Oneil Cruz to a corner.

I still say trade The Butcher (Cruz) to KC for catcher Blake Mitchell+.

See if they're interested in Noot or Willy C.

[TheFantasyStud]

It would be kind of cool to see them land him. Might make a real difference.
You almost feel bad for the Pirates.
Hope we don't become them.

The Reds have been in this conversation too, that would be equally as cool.

He’s from Middletown, OH, about 20 min north of Cincinnati, so that could be in interesting homecoming.

So Philly that's what it will take.

Reds were in the playoffs too last year. Good young pitching staff. They might just be a Schwarber away from doing something serious. Hitting behind Elly oh my that would be something.

All they need is a couple of bats.

I give it no credibility on being a real offer. They are heading into a work stoppage.

They know that the players will use teams like the Pirates in their arguments against owners.

The Pirates owner knows that he is never taking the Pirates offer. It was only given so they can say they are trying.

[ScotchMIrish]

It's possible they are offering just enough to placate their fans and to ensure he won't sign with them. They also "pursued" Naylor.

BINGO

He's likely re-upping w/the Phillies

Taking a page from the Dimwitt/Mozo page, lol. It won't work - fans won't show up unless they actually spend or actually good. They have all the pitching in the world to be good though if they can get some bats.

You got it!

I swear I use to think Dewitt/Mo had a formula that gave them the exact offer to make that would come in 2nd but never be accepted
