Penny-pinching Pirates owner Bob Nutting was again the target of criticism for their lack of spending during the offseason \u2014 this time by Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked about the Pirates not doing much at all during the offseason,\u201d Kay said on the YES Network telecast during the second inning of the Yankees\u2019 5-4 extra-inning defeat to the Pirates on Sunday. \u201cThe free-agent contracts they signed were all one-year deals to veterans to kind of flush out the roster\u2026 So I looked this up. The last multi-year free-agent deal they signed was in November of 2016, Ivan Nova.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nova, the ex-Yankee, signed a three-year, $26 million contract with Pittsburgh and had a solid career with the Pirates that included a 3.06 ERA in his first year with the team.<\/p>\n
The Pirates, who have $76.3 million in committed payroll allocations in 2025, according to Spotrac, are a team with plenty of young developed talent, but as Kay points out, they have not signed a free agent in nearly a decade. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd their owner has been here at the ballpark this weekend, and he\u2019s getting jeered every time they see his face,\u201d Kay continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve noticed for two days already, especially on Opening Day, the frustration of the fan base here in Pittsburgh,\u201d broadcast partner John Flaherty replied. \u201cSuch a great sports town, great sports fans, they\u2019re craving a winner again here with the Pirates.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you can\u2019t say that it\u2019s too small of a town,\u201d Kay continued. \u201cThe Steelers sell out every game. The Penguins do great as well. This could be just like Cleveland. Cleveland contends almost every single year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Pirates, just like every team in baseball, receives a share of the revenue between local TV money and national revenues, which was projected to be roughly $200 million per team.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh\u2019s spending less than half that is a brutal reality for a Pirates team that has some legitimate young talent. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing that has really angered the fans the most is they have an all-time pitcher in Paul Skenes, who has just electrified the baseball world. And they did nothing to build a competitive team around him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just Skenes in Pittsburgh; the Pirates also boast the league\u2019s leader in steals, ONeil Cruz. <\/p>\n
The Pirates are 3-7 and tied for last place in the NL Central, although they did take Sunday\u2019s game in 11 innings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
