That was a pretty shitty move. They can hide behind the fact that he was less than stellar, but they 100% did this to save $200k.

It’s Pittsburgh. Their FA appeal was likely shite to begin with.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said the bonus had "zero factor" in the decision to cut ties with Tellez, who had become a fan favorite in Pittsburgh during a summer surge. He said it was "a difficult part of the business."

Complete BS. Terrible move to make as the Pirates, but even worse to lie about it.

His salary is $3.2 million. Cutting a dude for what amounts to a 6.25% bonus is a shitty move.

Cheap bastards. They should save some more money by trading Skenes to the Yankees this offseason.

I thought it was a dick move. But when you put it like that, it’s even worse.

They will never ever get a pitcher of Skenes skill at his price again. His salary was 560K this year. He can go to more arbitration next year. He won’t make the big bucks until 2029.

He will never get to a second contract in Shitsbirg IMO.

Skenes should be limiting his usage until he can free himself from that shitty arse franchise

I was suitably outraged about this headline but then I read this:

I no longer care.
