The Pirates may be on the verge of doing something not stupid

According to this update from the Post Gazette, the Pirates and Braves have more or less agreed on a Mike Gonzalez for Adam LaRoche deal except that Gonzalez's notoriously balky elbow scares the Braves. The PG update is strange, it doesn't say Gonzo is getting more tests to prove to the Braves he's healthy and it doesn't say that a deal is done minus a physical, but it implies that it would probably be done if Gonzo was 100% healthy. I don't know if this means a deal is contingent upon Gonzalez proving his health or if the Braves have told us they won't do the trade because Gonzo's arm scares them. Remember, he missed the last few weeks of the season with elbow tendinitis but was cleared by doctors of any ligament damage and was throwing off of a mound in September. I'm sure we'll know more tomorrow.
