If you were hoping the Pittsburgh Pirates might finally start treating the offseason like a competitive baseball team instead of a clearance-aisle charity operation, you're about to be disappointed (again).
On the heels of signing Jack Suwinski, who should’ve been a non-tender slam dunk, the Pirates have now extended an offer to avoid arbitration with… Yohan Ramírez.
Yes, that Yohan Ramírez. The single, most obvious non-tender candidate on the roster. The pitcher who symbolizes the very thing fans keep begging Bob Nutting and Ben Cherington to stop doing: hoarding fringe relievers like they’re gold bars while ignoring actual roster needs.
