With the season behind us, it’s finally time to look at where the payroll ended up for 2019. I’ve been tracking it since Day 1 of the season, and it’s always fun to analyze changes throughout the year. My favorite part of tracking payroll is to compare the official Competitive Balance Tax numbers released after […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Friday night that outfielder Jason Martin recently underwent surgery to repair a left shoulder labral tear.
