For the Pirates, this winter brings déjà vu
Andrew McCutchen’s future in Pittsburgh.
Jung Ho Kang’s visa situation.
If you feel like you’re experiencing déjà vu, no one could really blame you.
The Pirates enter Major League Baseball’s winter meetings Monday in Orlando, Fla., with many of the same offseason questions they had a year ago — namely, whether the face of their franchise and their missing third baseman will be around in 2018. If anything, the number of questions continue to grow, given the possibility that Gerrit Cole and Josh Harrison also could be on the trading block.
When the Arrieta, Darvish, Ohtani deals are settled, the pitching race to watch will be Gerrit Cole. Would he look good in Texas, or what?
