Here's a good story from Jerry Crasnick about the Pedro Alvarez situation, mostly from the perspectives of Alvarez and Scott Boras. It's going to be tough for Alvarez whenever he comes to play in Pittsburgh.

No one has ever gotten Alvarez to talk about this situation, and Crasnick says he's basically been "sequestered." The article also reports that he'll work out this semester at Vanderbilt. Alvarez is lucky, in a way, that Boras pulled this stunt on the Pirates and not some other team. If he'd tried it on, say, the Mets, I'm sure there would be journalists heading down to Nashville and asking around about where the gym is.
