It will continue to communicate with him directly as the team comes together.

We have more work to do.

Charrington basically made it sound like, yeah, Andrew McCutcheon is not coming back, but he left the door open to it.

So a lot of people are complaining that,

Hey, did the Pirates approach this properly?

Should they have just told McCutcheon, we just don't want to bring you back?

It kind of seems like he is...

shaky ground right now of he's in limbo if he could come back so Andrew McCutcheon went at our guy Josh Roundtree on Twitter Roundtree said Pirates fans got a three-year reunion tour with McCutcheon and they never won more than 76 games I respect what he's meant to the city but he's 39 and at some point you had to just consider moving on so McCutcheon responded quote

I wonder, did the Cardinals do this with Wainwright, Pujols, and Yachty?

Dodgers to Kershaw, Tigers to Miggy.

The list goes on and on.

If this is my last year, it would have been nice to meet the fans one last time as a player.

Yeah, so I want him on the team as the 26th man, and here's why.

So I still think that he is valuable against left-handed pitching as their DH because you have a left-handed bat in Ryan O'Hearn.

So you could also move O'Hearn to right field whenever necessary.

I would be okay with McCutcheon in right for a game or two.

Nothing too substantial whenever you need him in a pinch.

But to be able to have a veteran bat like that, that can come off the bench in the sixth, seventh, eighth inning, something like that, to be able to pinch hit, or also bat against left-handers when they are a very significantly left-handed heavy lineup, I think he is valuable in that regard.

Not as a consistent starter five or six days a week, but as somebody that can play in a pinch.

And I don't think that that extra roster spot that you're giving to McCutcheon weighs all that much when you have a lot of versatility in terms of Garcia, the outfielder they got, Mangum,
