Nate McClouth is reasonably priced until 2012.

The Pirates get room for a player I'm high on in Andrew McCutchen as well a major league ready prospect in Charlie Morton. If either Gorkys Hernandez or Jeff Locke come to being good for Pittsburgh, it's a deal that will help both sides. There's not much more to say. Glavine's story is sad, but many top athletes have long goodbyes.

And Frank Wren must be plum tuckered out.
