We won't get much for McCutchen, especially if we wait until the deadline to trade him. Detroit received a minimal return for JD Martinez and he's a much better player than McCutchen at this point in their careers. Perhaps if McCutchen hadn't been so dire in August and September, we could have conned somebody into thinking that he was still a star.

I will miss Stewart catching every stitch of the ball resulting in a flyout to the cf who was standing 30 feet behind 2nd base.

From a report on KDKA TV there is mutual interest with Neil Walker returning to Pittsburgh.

JD Martinez asking for 200 million. LOL.

Given the tepid interest in him at the trade deadline, I'd be surprised if he got that kind of contract, but the dude has averaged 3.8 WAR since 2014. If you believe the performance will be sustained for the length of the contract, $200M over 6 or 7 years isn't unreasonable. He's terrible defensively, though, and even a slight decline in his offensive production would turn that contract into a joke since his bat accounts for 100% of his value.
