In all fairness to Mr. Rookie, this was all over the news today. Reports out of both Minnesota and Pittsburgh said it was a done deal, and the announcement would come at 5pm. Obviously that didn't happen, but it's not like the guy's making stuff up on his own.
As for the reported return, what a joke for Pittsburgh. Nearly as bad as the packages they got for Schmidt and Ramirez. Wiggington's a hack in the field, and doesn't have the bat for first base. He's a good depth player, but no everyday starter.
Peterson's an average prospect, and Milledge, while heavily hyped, is at least 3 years away. The Pirates can't re-build forever.
it was going to be Benson to the Twins for Doug M and Kubel but the Twins couldn't let go of Kubel. this trade with the Mets was said to be a done deal.
