The Pittsburgh Pirates signed veteran Marcell Ozuna to a one-year, $12 million contract in the offseason, but he has struggled significantly, posting a .070 batting average with no home runs or RBIs. Meanwhile, former Pirate Andrew McCutchen, who could have filled the designated hitter role, is excelling with the Texas Rangers, boasting a .429 average and 7 RBIs. This situation raises questions about the Pirates’ decision not to re-sign McCutchen, especially given his past contributions. Many fans are frustrated, believing the team made a mistake in opting for Ozuna over a player who could have provided consistent production.
