At 12:00 PM EST yesterday, the Pittsburgh Pirates held an introductory press conference for new General Manager Ben Cherington. Principal owner Bob Nutting along with newly hired team president Travis Williams were both part of the press conference to introduce the new General Manager. There were a lot of good things said at the press conference, and if anything else, Cherington proved to be confident and ready to do what needs to be done to get the organization back on track.
The first interesting thing that was brought up at the press conference had to do with the Pittsburgh Pirates search.
