That may not be too easy, though, for the time being. More likely, they’ll focus on signing players to minor league deals, which of course they can do now. The Pirates may participate in that to a very limited extent. If and when a labor deal happens, there’s likely to be a scramble to sign players. But there isn’t going to be much baseball news going forward, other than listening to the lawyers, and I retired so I wouldn’t have to do that any more.Īnyway, the Pirates clearly aren’t done adding to the roster for spring training.

It’s only been a few days since the owners locked out the players, and the Pirates normally sit out the off-season, anyway, once they’re done slashing the payroll.

I think I’m suffering from anticipatory boredom, if there is such a thing.
