According to MLBTradeRumors, Kela may once again be on the trade block, as long as he is healthy (about which there are some questions). We looked at Kela as a Buy low candidate last year, given his suspension for the “violation of Uniform Player’s Contract” - and the Pirates have been very tight lipped as to the circumstances.
This was not the first time that Kela’s personality has caused him trouble, with the Rangers demoting him due to issues previously. It was noted that he did not put effort into the final spring training game of the year, and when veterans showed their dismay, he “blew up” at them.
