Kipper : Trade Dead Line Rhymes with Bucco Fans Whine

Have fun out there in Social Media and in the break rooms at work because the 2nd best team in baseball suddenly got run by the most incompetent Front Office in MLB.
That is how it is every July.
Every "know-it-all" basement GM comes out and whines and cries about the Pittsburgh Pirates not doing this or that. It's been an ongoing epidemic for years, yet despite all of this, a miracle has happened in Pittsburgh...
..the Pittsburgh Pirates have qualified for the Playoffs for the past 2 seasons.
Meanwhile, all of these other teams continue to make these big trades and aren't any better than the Pittsburgh Pirates have been.
What big trade did the San Francisco Giants and St.Louis Cardinals make the past 2 seasons?
There's a collective internet erection occurring for the Pirates to trade for Phillies pitcher Cole Hammels.
It's not going to happen.
That's not how this Front Office operates and to continuously whine about it not happening is borderline stupidity and ignorance. It's like waiting for Donald Trump to say something sensible. It won't happen. Don't expect it. Don't complain.
What we can and should expect from the Pittsburgh Pirates is to see the middle/long relief get stronger by addition. We should expect perhaps bench depth. We shouldn't expect the Front Office to trade it's future prospects for 1 player. It's not a proven guarantee for winning, just ask Ray Shero and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Do you think Cole Hammels out duels Madison Bumgarner last year? The best teams in MLB couldn't win with their best against Madison Bumgarner.
So, relax Pittsburgh and Pirates fans. Stop crying and whining every single year at the trade deadline for a MLB The Show-esque type trade. Show some faith in a front office and an owner that have brought this organization back from the depths of hell, to being the 2nd best team in MLB that competes annually for the Playoffs.
