Pirates reportedly don't win bid for Byung-Ho Park

The Pirates are not the team that won the right to negotiate with Korean first baseman Byung-Ho Park, Buster Olney tweets. Of course, none of this is certain at this point -- yesterday, the Athletics were reported to be out, but Olney says some around the game believe the A's did win the bidding. All the information we've gotten about the bidding has come via process of elimination. Whatever happens with Park, it wouldn't be a surprise if it contradicted at least one of the millions of little details that have been reported.
