haha, exactly, just because they won’t pay 40-50% over market value for maybe, possibly one free agent, that could only pose a relative improvement of 5-10 games, when they’d need to win 20 to make the playoffs.

Not to mention the eye-rolling and head-shaking of the pundits and the denizens of the P-G Asylum who will moan “Same old cheap Pirates” when the club doesn’t go all-in on some free agent.

While very happy they signed both Cole and Bell, 5M for a mid-1st round talent (Bell) is a lot of money. Lots of upside though, I’m looking forward to seeing him progress over the next few years.

What a great day for the Pirates. The Bell signing shows once again this team is serious.
