While most of the Pirates’ roster is too young to reach free agency yet, they do have one notable free agent this winter in Yoshi Tsutsugo.
The Pirates are working to try to keep him.
“We have had dialogue with him,” Ben Cherington said Thursday. “[We] have interest [in signing him]. Certainly enjoyed our time with him. We're obviously getting closer to free agency, and so we'll see. It may be that he gets to free agency.”
Free agency starts five days after the World Series concludes, though Tsutsugo could re-sign with the Pirates before then.
