The Pirates, who had signed Tellez to a one-year deal in the offseason, would have owed Tellez the performance bonus of $200,000 if he reached 425 plate appearances this season; he entered the day with 421.
Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said the bonus had "zero factor" in the decision to cut ties with Tellez, who had become a fan favorite in Pittsburgh during a summer surge. He said it was "a difficult part of the business." "We feel like we gave Rowdy lots of opportunity here this year," Cherington told reporters before Pittsburgh hosted Milwaukee on Tuesday night. "To his credit, he fought through some difficult times earlier in the year and fought his way out of it. Had periods of success and periods of frustration. This is just where we got to in the season."
Cherington said he didn't think the Pirates' decision would have a negative impact in the clubhouse.

What a shitty organization. There are teams who will give the guy the bonus when he just falls short, then there are the Pirates. It’s even shittier that they can’t just own it.

I look forward to the day in four years when the Dodgers send some prospects for Skenes because he’ll be “too expensive.”

That is always the worst part of it when any organization does it in any sport…..the attempt to explain it isn’t what you think dumdum fan.

It'll save the Pirates uniform laundry money next season.

The Padres turning a triple play to end the game in a pennant race against the team they are chasing is pretty baller.

They should have let Mets/Braves do a doubleheader today. That hurricane is going to wreck the series. Nice call. A doubleheader on Monday is a mess for both teams.

Yep, could have avoided all that by playing a DH. Highly likely a Monday game would have not been necessary after things play out over the weekend…..alas, we will never know. Go Braves!

I just read that the Braves declined the option of playing this past Monday or having a doubleheader on Tuesday. MLB could have overruled them but didn't.

That seems to be just a dumb move on the Braves part. I would love to know the reasoning on that. I didn’t hear the announcers talking about it during the first game. May have missed it….
