Rays trade Iwamura to Pirates

[Jake]

Just when it appeared the Bucs were finally starting to build from within by stocking their minors, they go and pull a Littlefieldesque trade. Let's unload the 26 year old best lefty reliever on the team for a 30 year old light-hitting 2B with bad knees.

They just traded a second baseman with bad knees, but at least he won a batting title, and they must've have needed another one.

I'm pretty sure the Pirates want to lose.

And I thought the Reds' front office was inept.

17 straight losing seasons...no one is as inept as the Pirates. :(
