Steve Pearce Granted Extra Minor-League Option

61

Cool. Due to his injuries this year, Pearce won't be out of options next year, so the Pirates can send him to the minors if they want. That this allows them to do that is bad in a way, since his skills as a guy who can hit lefties and field at first would make him a good bench player, but at least the Bucs won't risk losing him.
