Remember, the Pirates were surprise bidders for David Price prior to the 2014 trade deadline. Price made $14 million last season. He is making $20 million this season, the last year of his contract. Cole Hamels is the first big-name arm on the market, and the remaining length of his contract — four years — lines up with McCutchen's remaining contract. Unlike a free agent, a trade this summer could allow the Pirates to add an impact arm on a shorter-term deal.
