re: DAT: 2016-2017 Offseason Thread

I really want Andrew McCutchen. It's been reported that the Pirates will look into trading him this off season. Even with his "down" year by his standards, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Problem is he's a relative bargain. Signed for 2 more years at $14 million and $14.75 million. Put that on top of a shitty crop of free agent outfielders and there's gonna be high demand for him. Plus, given that he's a fan favorite in Pittsburgh they'd just as soon hold on to him if they're not blown away.

Luhnow has certainly missed on most of his big trades. But we've got a roster that should have its sights set high going into next year. But it's got some holes that need to be filled and this class of free agents isn't going to help much. If we're going to add an impact bat or a ToR starter, we're going to have to dip into the prospects.
