He was traded for my cousin, Jeff Locke and two others…and is now no longer a pirate, again…thus is baseball

Remember when the Pirates had an OF of Bay, McLouth and Nady, and all 3 were pretty great?

Yeah, funny how things change.

Never was the same since he had that collision in the outfield at Chase Field 2 years ago.

I bet they’re glad they didn’t sign him to a 6 year $85M contract even though he was better at age 26 than others…..Pirate fans were furious when he was traded….now? Not so much.

I mean I guess that’s solid for a pitcher…

Pirates fans, did we honestly expect anything else? Not to be mean.

Braves paid roughly $13.5 million for three years of bad results from McClouth. Weird how this player’s skills declined rapidly after the age of 26, but that’s baseball.

I’d take that production for $1.75.
