Pirates' Nady drawing interest
Posted: Sunday July 13, 2008 08:46AM ET
The market is mounting for the Pirates' most likely trade pieces, outfielder Xavier Nady and reliever Damaso Marte. Add the Yankees to the list of potential suitors for Nady. The Rays, who are loaded with prospects, also are interested, as are the Mets, who are far from loaded in that area. The Braves have tested the water but remain on the periphery.

Report Offensive CommentPittsburgh has the best outfield in baseball this year. They can parlay that into a great future if they play their cards right.

Report Offensive CommentNady and Marte for the Rays' top prospect, David Price, and an outfield prospect.

Report Offensive CommentI wish the Pirates would keep Nady, Bay, and Nate, but that is very unlikely. Therefore, I hope they get value for whoever they trade because these guys are studs!

Report Offensive CommentI guess the pirates are the big league farm team for the rest of the MLB every year they trade away great young players,and every year they are dead Last in baseball.why do they bother to have a team?if its money then why not move to a place with a big market?

Report Offensive CommentThe Pirates are in selling mode. As usual. If they could pry David Price from the Rays for a solid OF and a solid reliever, then they might do it. The Rays don't have a dire need for starting pitchers right now, and they have a couple more in the pipeline.
Tell it like it is | 07/13/08, 05:43 PM
Report Offensive CommentTell it like it is the Rays would NEVER give up Price for that little. The Pirates would not only jump all over that deal but you wouldnt even have to throw in another OF prospect. Im pretty sure Turbo meant that the Rays would never do that, not des Buccos.

Report Offensive CommentThere are only two Pirates I would trade for - Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell and neither is avaiable unfortunately !!!

Report Offensive CommentDavid Price is going no where,he is a top lefty prospect who may be a no.1.Even if a tem is stacked at SP, a team should never part with a possible no.1 lefty SP.Especially one that is so close too the majors.

Report Offensive CommentI agree, but look at how little Cleveland got for CC. Nady and Marte are established big leaguers. Price has proven nothing in the bigs.
Tell it like it is | 07/13/08, 10:32 PM
Report Offensive CommentPrice is a #1 overall SP, he's a LHP that hits 99 mph into the 7th inning, I'd say w/ his contract term and health he is absolutely the jewel pitching prospect of MLB's future. He's not going anywhere and is the real deal.

Report Offensive Commenthow LITTLE Cleveland got for CC? dude you must be joking. They got a top tier OF power hitting prospect who is almost big league ready and CC already said hes not resigning with the Trive
thats the best move the Tibe have made in a WHILE. You are undercutting prospects dude.

Agreed. Since Cleveland is essentially now counting this season as a lost cause, getting quality prospects the right move.
YODA | 07/14/08, 12:36 AM
Report Offensive CommentMets won't make any outfielder moves before the deadline. Church is coming back at the end of the month, and Tatis and Chavez have left field taken care of.
Losing Alou for the season may be a great thing for the Mets.

Report Offensive CommentThe ONLY chance the Pirates have to even think about being competative is to build through their own system and Littlefield screwed the pooch on that one. I say trade anyone you can as long it is for real prospects and not the crap we got in the past. It's time to truly rebuild around young guys like McCutchen, Doumit and McClouth. Strike while the iron is hot boys!
