The pirates would laugh in his face and tell him they’ll see him tomorrow for work. He’s a half decade plus away from any sort of free agency

You realize every team goes through injuries, bullpen issues and slumps? Even pitchers like Wheeler, Cole, Skrubel go through periods when wins are hard to come by through no fault of their own.

Of all the sports, baseball is the closest to the old reserve system. Players have little to no control over where they play until well into their career.

New to MLB? This is a good Pirate team by comparison to most Pirate teams. They are still in the WC chase. What they wont do is make a trade and get a bat to help out and that is frustrating.

He seems to value honor and integrity. He signed a contract. Both parties agreed to the terms. He will honor it.

He’s not a pussy like all those NFL and NBA players that demand trades.

This is really stupid for a whole host of reasons.

But the biggest one is that the trade deadline has already passed.

What about the games he has started in which the Pirates scored, 10, 9, 6, 10, 10, 14 runs?

I mean… the Pirates being bad isn’t a slump or injury issues.

but they are building up a pretty awesome pitching staff.

ITs a cheap as hell issue. If they dont ride the Skenes popularity wave into next season and spend a little money to get some pop in the line up to go with a pretty damn good staff they are building I will be off the Pirate bandwagon. Giving up a seat held since 1977.

It's going to take a little time but the Pirate's will build a team around him.

Interesting post considering he literally signed a contract for college and then left that college

You unaware of military academy contracts?

It’s not a big deal, but leaving after commitment dinner is not honoring the contract. Not a big deal, just funny considering the poster I was responding to
