After making his long-awaited debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in late April, fans questioned whether Drew Maggi would get one more look at the majors before season’s end.

That question was answered on Sunday and, unfortunately, it didn’t have the storybook ending fans hoped for.

According to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, the Pirates released the 34-year-old journeyman Sunday evening, bringing an end to his second stint with the organization. No reason was given for his release.

The Pirates initially drafted Maggi in the 15th round of the 2010 MLB Draft, then reacquainted with him last August after the Philadelphia Phillies traded him for cash.
