He will be traded after 2014 for draft picks and/or prospects. This team will be awful until they are sold. After 20 years, there is not an ounce of optimism left in me.

You mean that they think that sometime in the next 4 years they’ll be able to work out a deal with McCutchen.

I am going to be on the edge of my seat for the next 3 years and 9 months awaiting the news
