Pirates, McLouth closing in on deal

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  December 06, 2011
Yep, it’s true…Nate McLouth is likely coming back to Pittsburgh. McLouth, of course, was traded to Atlanta in 2009 for Charlie Morton, Gorkys Hernandez, and Jeff Locke. He has struggled ever since leaving the Burgh, but wouldn’t be a bad fourth outfielder to spell Alex Presley and Jose Tabata. As long as he doesn’t cost much and the Bucs don’t plan on...

Let's Convince Ourselves That Nate McLouth Might Have Some Value!

It looks like Nate McLouth's return to the Pirates is all but a done deal, as Ken Rosenthal is reporting tonight that the two sides have agreed to terms and only a physical separates this deal from completion. If McLouth hadn't once been a Pirate, I doubt this move would garner much interest. With Xavier Paul gone, the Pirates only have three big league outfielders and since...

It looks like a familiar face could be roaming the PNC Park outfield this year…or at least the dugout. The Pirates and Nate McLouth are about to agree to a one-year deal to being the former All-Star back to the Burgh so hopefully you didn’t throw away that shirzey when he was traded in ’09.
