The General Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates had a choice. He had a choice to sign the player who was excited to return to 86-loss team that traded him away, or sign the guy who was a below average hitter for his entire career.
He chose Rowdy Tellez
Just heard from an anonymous source that there is a secret team interested in Shohei Ohtani. Not yet sure if it is an AL or NL team but rumor has it is a team that hasnβt been mentioned yet but could be one of the teams that was . Itβs an ongoing development in a complex market!
Pirates have three players in the top 20 in strikeouts in all of MLB this year -- Cruz, Cutch, Reynolds. They have a combined 2 HRs.
Happy Opening Day!
