WASHINGTON -- The day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, Pirates owner Bob Nutting approached third-base coach Joey Cora with two questions.
"First, he asked about my family," said Cora, a native of Caguas, Puerto Rico. "Second, he said, 'What can we do to help?'"
The Pirates announced their answer on Sunday morning. Pirates Charities and Pittsburgh coaches, players and front-office staff are working with FedEx to collect and gather hurricane-relief supplies that they will deliver personally to Puerto Rico.
Nutting, Cora, Sean Rodriguez, Francisco Cervelli and special assistant/team interpreter Mike Gonzalez are among those who will make the trip to deliver supplies.
