Monday 3/5 | News, Notes, and Links

  • The Buccos have seemed to have reached an agreement with Andrew McCutchen that will sign him to a 6-year deal. It's not official right now, but it seems pretty set in stone. You'll be seeing ton about this move today, so keep your eyes peeled (I've never understood that expressions).
  • The Pirates play tonight under the lights against Baltimore. Jo-Jo Reyes will make the start and we'll also see Justin Wilson, Duke Welker, Bryan Morris, Mike Crotta, and Tim Wood. The offensive side of the ball will be heavy with minor leaguers as well as a lot of the big league regulars will stay in Bradenton to work on some other stuff.
  • I have most of the kinks worked out in my Pittsburgh Pirates Daily Notebook, and you can get access to it now, free of charge.
  • I'm still taking 'applications' for new writers for the site, so if you're interested, click here.
  • Tonight's game is on MLB.TV and we're having a live chat during the game, so check back here at game time for that.
