Pittsburgh Pirates: Mayor Peduto Offers to Help
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the middle of a year of turmoil. It has been so bad that people have called on the city’s Mayor to help.
One thing that has remained the same with the Pittsburgh Pirates since Neal Huntington took over is that the franchise continues to be in the bottom of the league in payroll. The Bucs payroll in recent years has been even more abysmal. This past season they had a payroll of $72 million, ranking second to last in the league. The previous season was not much better, the team ranked as the fourth lowest payroll.
