Yea I get that he looks to be on the decline but I can't help but reflect on Pirates history over the last 20 years and wonder if they are going back to penny pinching


Its a cycle. Bring up young guys. Flourish. Resign them cheap compared to market. Lose them when they get too expensive. Repeat with young guys.

They have Marte and Polanco signed through 2021, so I would think they would try to use the money they will save with Cutch to try to buy out Cole's arbitration years, and maybe get a extra year or so on the deal.
