<t>Yes. I’m not in Pittsburgh, so I don’t see the local media coverage that much, but, from here, it seems there has been shockingly little information and coverage.

Doesn't sound like a good business plan.
Unless your business plan is to draft Elijah(?) Green in 2022.

So sad for the young man just as he was making a real push to make the opening day roster. Let's hope he's back strong in 2022 and maybe our closer by 2023.

<t>If it was agreed ahead of time, he could make the roster out of ST as a placeholder for one of the youngster whose service time they want to limit for an extra year of control and/or to avoid Super 2. When the time is right, he could announce his retirement while being given a very nice send off ...
