BRADENTON, Fla. -- Ke'Bryan Hayes never got to play alongside Andrew McCutchen during the outfielder's first stint with the Pirates. Maybe there was a game that McCutchen started and Hayes entered as a defensive replacement late, but being on the same field at the same time? That had only happened as competitors.
That was until Thursday when the two did some light tossing together at Pirate City. According to McCutchen, Hayes was the initiator and McCutchen was the one to suggest simply, "hey, do you want to go throw."
