Regarding that Rosenthal tweet below, it appears the Pirates got pitcher James McDonald and OF Andrew Lambo, both former top prospects whose stock has fallen a bit. I already wrote about them over at Bucs Dugout. Essentially, Lambo will probably start at Class AA Altoona, a level where he’s struggled to get traction. He’s only 21 and could well end up being helpful. McDonald could potentially be added to the big-league rotation right now.
