The Pirates have a tough month ahead of them, in addition to the Konnor Griffin injury news coming down today, which could change their mindset heading into the MLB Trade Deadline.

If it doesn’t look like they won’t sign Lowe to an extension, what kind of return would be fair coming back? What teams would be in the market for Lowe on an expiring deal? Which Pirates can we expect to be better in the second half?
