It’s also unclear whether that, or the mere fact of his conviction in Korea, has held up his visa. Either way, Kang has yet to see a day of camp and will almost certainly not be ready to start the season for the Pirates, even if...

Now 17-year-old Casey Guthrie has filed a federal lawsuit against the cop who slapped her with the $100 citation last month.
