Pirates Looking to Deal Freddy

Jul 9, 2009
It’s hard for me to say, but one of our favorite Pirates in recent memory could be on his way out. The Bucs are reportedly pushing hard to deal 2B Freddy Sanchez, and a potential trade could be...

Nate McLouth Traded?!

Jun 3, 2009
To Atlanta. More coming. Me = Stunned. Holy cow. This completely came out of nowhere. Read it again folks, the Pirates just sent Nate McLouth to the Braves for three prospects. Don’t jump off the Clemente Bridge just yet. The Pirates had t...

Matt Capps non-tendered

Dec 12, 2009
<a href=""We attempted to reach agreement with both Matt and Phil prior to the deadline. Each player preferred to explore free agency. We have not closed any doors but will begin immediately to explore other opportunities to improve our...

Dec 12, 2009
SS Ronny Cedeno and the Pirates agreed on a $1.125M contract for 2010, avoiding arbitration. Cedeno made $822,500 in 2009. By comparison, Bobby Crosby will make $1 million guaranteed, with the opportunity to make up to $500,000 more in bonuses (based...
