The PG article says Hatch was on the 40-man roster. So he wasn't a free agent. I wonder if the Pirates agreed to let him sign with Japan in lieu of releasing him.

Dionte Johnson is an embarrassment and should be released after quitting on his teammates Sunday. On the Warren fumble in front of him, Johnson just blatantly refused to participate in the play. No excuse for that. If nothing else, I hope he is benched for at least a substantial portion of the next ...

Sonny Grey (Gray?) to the Cardinals - three years, 75 MM. We can't really blame MLB. They know the Pirates are not serious participants in free agency. As always, the Pirates will wait until the best have received their big contracts and then go for the leftovers who are not in demand and can be ha...

I pretty much agree with what you are saying Bobster. Brown is the voice of the Pirates and you will never get rid of him. Block, well, I would not be afraid to tell him to "don't let the door hit you in the ass" as get out of town. I can handle the camera showing the announcers but not b...

Whoever broadcasts the games, I just hope there's an attitude change in the presentation. It seems like the emphasis has been placed on the announcers to make them the focal point instead of the game.

Vogelbach and Stallings also non-tendered.

I guess Stallings' pitch framing wasn't worth his .191 BA.

Cole won the Cy Young. Just as the Pirates envisioned when they drafted him.

Good to be back!

The pitch framing in his 3 innings was exquisite and a real treat for the viewing audience. The villagers will be singing songs about that for generations.
