Pittsburgh Pirates Salary Dump Candidate: Outfielder A.J. Pollock

During the 2018-2019 off-season, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed former Arizona Diamondback All-Star, A.J. Pollock outfielder to a 4-year, $60 million contract. The contract was a bit of an odd decision to start with as the team, at the time, had a handful of outfielders at their disposal. Now, Pollock, despite being paid a hefty amount the next few years, is currently projected to have nothing more than a platoon role with the Dodgers. Plus, with a few high-end players about to hit free agency, the Dodgers could be looking to shed the contract. The Pittsburgh Pirates could be that team to take on Pollock’s contract.
