Pirates talking to Gregg

[Post Count Padder]

The Pirates have had multiple conversations with free agent reliever Kevin Gregg, writes Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Last year for the Cubs, Gregg posted a 4.72 ERA and 9.3 K/9 in 72 games.

 

The 31-year-old was the Cubs' closer until mid-season, when the mantle was given to Carlos Marmol.

Gregg will probably be a decent bargain for somebody. I can't see him getting much more than 1M now that his closer shine is officially off.

I guess it would be a good thing for the Cubs and extremely horrible for the Bucs. Go get em Bucs!

Meh.

 

First of all, I don't think it's going to happen.

 

Second, if it happens, he won't be handed the closers role, he'll have competition.

Too bad we didn't just trade Gregg for Capps. Like, a long time ago. Then again, during the season, the Pirates probably didn't plan on letting Capps go for nothing.
