Here we go again. Jim Bowden, professional Hope Trafficker, has decided the Pittsburgh Pirates might be whispered into the Cody Bellinger sweepstakes.
And by “sweepstakes,” I mean the New York Yankees. Maybe the New York Mets. And then — somewhere way down the scroll bar — a soft-focus mention of the Pirates so we can all feel something again.
Bowden laid it out like this: Bellinger wants to stay in New York, whether it's with the Yankees or Mets. If not? He’d consider the Los Angeles Dodgers reunion. And then… the Pirates.
