The Yankees facial hair thing - in the Year of our Lord 2024 - remains one of the most absurd and stupid things in sports, and everyone seems to act like it's completely normal and it drives me crazy.
Today, with just six games left, the Pirates DFA'd Rowdy Tellez, who has been an above-average hitter by wRC+ over the past month.
Coincidentally, Tellez's contract reportedly entitled him to a $200,000 bonus at 425 plate appearances.
His time with the Pirates ends at 421.
