Sure would be nice if he would approve the acquisition of a free agent outfielder. I am sure with spring training two weeks away the Bucs could acquire a free agent at a reasonable salary which would fit into the 2018 budget.

Maybe if he bought businesses that actually still make money he could put more back into the team...

Why do you think he owns the Pirates? To pay for his newspaper fetish?

Good point. The newspaper industry is dying. I couldn't tell you the last time I read a newspaper.

I don't even read the free one that gets thrown in my driveway once a week.

Nutting operates his purchases of newspapers the exact same way that he operates with the Pirates. A few months ago, he purchased the Uniontown Herald Standard newspaper, and promptly laid off close to half of the people that worked there. As a result, the paper consists mainly of advertising.
