Jerry Manuel’s former whipping boy Ryan Church looks like he has landed a deal with the Pirates according to there local daily Post-gazette. He will be in Pittsburgh for a physical today. Church who spent part of a lost year with the Mets and was traded to the Braves will be a part time player for the Bucs most likely.
No word on length of contract but you figure that with former Met Brian Schneider getting a 2 yr deal and he cant hit that Church will get something comparable. Church really lost his way with all the concussions he has in 08 and the Mets medical staff not knowing how to handle it. We wish Churchy the best!
Looks like Church signed a 1 year deal for 1.5M guaranteed with possible bonuses based on plate appearances of 1.3M which I am sure the Bucs will make sure he doesnt get.
