McGehee to the Pirates for Jose Veras

302

Veras is a hard-throwing reliever, pretty good strikeout numbers for the Pirates last year. Tom H seems to think he's arb-eligible. I think he was on a minimum (or close) deal last year, Cots doesn't have the exact number. Good luck to McGehee, a real class act, but his raise just doesn't fit in the budget. Good gamble for the Pirates.
