Pirates-Rays trade in works
The Pirates are not necessarily through with reliever Evan Meek. Although there are plenty of unusual circumstances related to Rule 5 draft picks, there is a palpable feeling among management that he could remain in the system, provided a few elements play out. When a Rule 5 claim is designated for assignment, as Meek was yesterday morning, he must clear 48-hour waivers. If that happens in this case, the Pirates can offer Meek back to Tampa Bay for half the original claiming price of $50,000 or work out a trade to keep him. The latter scenario sounded most likely yesterday.

Must be a slow day in baseball if a Pirates and Rays trade for a marginal player at best is being discussed...

Thank God the Twins didn't get this piece of horse bleep for Santana. If Carlos Gomez can improve his OBP, he can become a very productive and valuable lead off hitter.

This type of trade is more of what baseball needs. Deals for marginal players who can contribute instead of signing DH's for $10MM a year. Pirates will soon follow the (D)Rays in the ascent to the top of the division.

No, I believe the gentleman to whom you are referring is none other than Norton from the old Honeymooners show with Jackie Gleason.
