Stephen J. Nesbitt
3:52
I wouldn't be shocked to see another trade in the next 15-20 minutes (they aren't always announced by 4 p.m.). Another bat, another bullpen arm ...
Patrick
3:52
Yes the lack of chatting is due to shock. I'm literally trying to 10x fact check this.
Sean Gentille
3:52
Part of my brain says "more is always possible," the other part says "have a 7-up and chill out for like 10 seconds."

This opens up a roster spot? Who comes up?
Sean Gentille
3:53
Dickerson and Bell are on the DL, so that doesn't settle much.
Blackjack
3:54
quick question, we added two pitchers and lost a of and pitcher, as it stands now what do we do about the lack of a fielder?
Sean Gentille
3:54
Moroff is in Indy, for a short fix.
Texas Steeler
3:56
Is Sean Rodriguez the third piece? Please!!!!!
PhillyJake
3:56
Chris Bostick will come up!
Stephen J. Nesbitt
3:56
Doooooon't think so, Texas.
Patrick
3:56
It'll be Moroff. Worst case Stallings and that one guy gets his wish to see Cervelli in an emergency 1B scenario.
Sean Gentille
3:56
Maybe Pat Bostick, or Jon Bostic.
3:57
Third player TBNL, per bob nightengale
Cassidy
3:58
Is the Archer deal actual done? Or is it still in the air? Just trying not to get too excited at the moment....
Stephen J. Nesbitt
3:58
The Pirates have not yet announced it.
Sean Gentille
3:58
If it doesn't go down, it'll be the most widely reported move that I've ever seen not happen.
3:59
It'd beat out Iginla for the all-time deadline okey-doke.
4:00
Heyman reports it as done.
RioDavo
4:01
Pretty big two-game series with Cubs starting tonight. Oh by the way.
Stephen J. Nesbitt
4:01
Archer was in line to start Thursday. Could be Friday?
Blackjack
4:01
what pure rental hitter is a option out there that left
Stephen J. Nesbitt
4:02
I was going to say Dozier, but I missed his trade in the madness.
Bob
4:02
Wheres Marlon Byrd when we need him?
Sean Gentille
4:02
I've got some ideas.
Gift Ngoepe
4:03
Any chance the Pirates are sending Jung Ho Kang to Tampa as the 3 piece?
Sean Gentille
4:03
Nope!
Wayward
4:04
Did the Bucs front office need this trade just as much if not more that the team on the field did?  Big public relations coo!
Stephen J. Nesbitt
4:04
It sure doesn't hurt.
4:08
The Brewers got Schoop.
Hope
4:08
Tallion, Archer, Musgrave, Keller, Nova next year for a starting rotation?  Doesn't seem to bad does it?
Texas Steeler
4:09
If Archer flops, the public will still complain. It’s part of the job
Bob
4:09
Archer + healthy Dickerson + healthy Bell + sober Jung Ho + mediocre everyone else. Bucs cookin with gas y'all
Stephen J. Nesbitt
4:09
The Pirates are taking a chance. That's worth something.
Chris
4:09
Nova be gone   Williams in rotation
Patrick
4:09
Folks we can get the hitter for cheap in August, not a priority.
4:10
Neal finally gets his moment in the sun / rain at 5:00.
Chris
4:10
Finally
Bob
4:14
On a semi serious note, I would feel way better giving Archer the ball in the one game playoff (ahead of myself) than any of the other scrubs.
Vinny
4:14
When would the official announcement for Archer have to be made?
Sean Gentille
4:15
Huntington speaking at 5, so no later than that.
