i dont see why people keep saying this


the Pirates are prob the most poorly ran franchise in baseball.

why would u want to play for them?


Because playing for a "poorly run franchise" is like having a green light to the big leagues. They mis-manage their talent, bring their players through their system too quickly to see what they can do in the big leagues only to trade them away to a contender if they do become halfway decent.

On the other hand, playing in a top-notch franchise's farm system, it could take longer to get to the big leagues due to the talent in front of you.

naw, things are changing.

they are trying to acquire prospects, not trade them. Pretty easy to see.

no one wants to play for a loser. They havent made the playoffs in 19 years or so
