With the way things are going? That could be Darvish vs Price
Everybody is looking for starting pitching

What? Roberts would burn Buehler or Urias if it came to that. Both nasty at home too. Also La could still acquire a scherzer type name at deadline. Sd is fukked unless Snell can regain his form previous years. Darvish wont win a road wc game. Hes lost to miami atlanta philly and washington on the road this month.

Sure if Buehler is available. I stated "with the way things are going". Dodgers have major rotation issues, like most every team. Nobody knows what rotations will look like the first week in October

They already have Cronenworth at second base so this is for depth and in case of injury. Doesn’t really move the needle imo. They need starting pitching. Darvish is a playoff choker, Lamet is injured. Snell has 5.00 era.

Frazier will play the outfield, both he and Cronenworth will play everyday. Myers will feel the brunt losing playing time.

The remaining 63 games this season, and how to replace Frazier’s .324 batting average and solid glove. After a day off Monday, the Pirates open a three-game series Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers at PNC Park.

There are no shortage of candidates, however.

• The Pirates could insert the 21-year-old Marcano at second base and get some answers immediately. He played in eight games there this season with no errors, after committing 11 in 113 games over four minor-league seasons.

• Wilmer Difo, who immediately replaced Frazier on Sunday when he was pulled in the eighth inning, has played 162 games at second base with only five errors in seven seasons. He also is valuable to the Pirates in the outfield.

• Could the Pirates reach back into Double-A Altoona for Rodolfo Castro, 22, who hit three home runs in his major-league debut stint earlier this month?

• Or, veteran infielder Erik Gonzalez could be considered as soon as next week. Gonzalez is “slightly ahead” of schedule in his projected four-to-six-week recovery from a right oblique strain, according to Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk. Gonzalez was put on the injured list July 2, but he was taking ground balls and playing catch out to 90 feet last week.

Eric Hosmer “has surfaced in recent trade discussions,” according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The motivation for such discussions seems to be at least partly connected to the Padres’ luxury tax situation, as Rosenthal notes,”The most recent calculation, provided by MLB around the All-Star break, has the Padres over the CBT threshold by roughly $2 million.” On a related note, the Padres had the Pirates pick up much of the tab for recent acquisition Adam Frazier.

I was thinking this. Essentially frazier takes his place and croeneworth goes to 1st. He gets dumped with a prospect or 2 in a money saving move. I guess my main concern is the crappy pirates though so I dont care either way.

They also signed Dee Gordon to a minor league deal a few weeks back. He is not on the 40 man roster right now but seems like a possibility. Marcano is obviously the long term replacement but short term, lots of possibilities.

He's an over achiever

I doubt he hits over .300 rest of the way

Jack Suwinkski one of the 3 prospects the Pirates got back for that rental
