I mean glad he is back obviously but they are gonna use this as a way to distract fans from them doing nothing for the 3rd straight year with this signing lmao
Cutch is gonna play here until he retires. A fitting end to his career since he was key to orchestrating the return to playoff baseball for Pittsburgh.
But yeah… Nutting and Co are gonna milk it for as much nostalgia as it’s worth.
Same 1 year, $5 million deal as what he signed last off-season. Brings their payroll up to $75 million I believe, with Nutting’s cheapness they only have about $10 million more to spend from what I can see.
Not a fan of this. Sure he’s a franchise legend but I still don’t like it.
Realistically Cutch probably isn’t a good enough hitter in order to justify being a full time DH. This would be a lot more valuable if he could chip in some RF, but thats probably too much to ask.
That said, it’s cutch and he can stay as long as he wants.
His leadership for this young team is worth his contract alone
