I'm ready for the pirates to go full rebuild mode

trading Marte is a start. they should prolly look to move Polanco, Frazier, bell etc... bring on the 95-100 loss seasons

Other than Frazier, its probably best to let them establish their performance at the start of the season. Polanco hasnt been healthy in a while and Bell really fell off in the second half last season.

These two prospects probably immediately slot in as 2 of the Pirates top 5 or 6, so they got value for Marte. And Malone looks like he could be the real deal, his arm is legit. However, both these prospects are 19, in the low minors and a looong ways away. Huge risk. Good as both these guys are law of averages say neither even make the majors let alone reach their considerable upside. THIS is where the new GM will earn his money. Did he hit on these two prospects? Because if he did they got them for an an aging player 2 years from UFA. Still, we won't know if they hit on them for a few years. PNC is a fabulous place to watch a baseball game, sadly, it won't be for a winning team for a while.
