Their closer and arguably best player gets hauled away in handcuffs on child solicitation and kiddie porn charges. Lots of scuttlebutt that he was going to be traded to get pieces for a rebuilding effort. But when you're sitting in prison your trade value is zero.
thank god the dodgers didn’t trade gavin lux for him.
So he showed a 13 yr old about sex, now hie new room mates will show him what sex is all about. Justice right?
Child Rapists don’t fare so well in Prison
Geeze...rich,famous guys like him can have just about any woman (meaning adult female) he wants...even a male if that’s his thing.But kids?? Does not compute!
The bright side is that they ought to be able to save a lot of salary money if the contract has the standard MLB escape clause for substance abuse or criminal activity.
does bail count against the luxury cap?
As a fan of MLB, I hope they ban the guy forever. There are certain crimes that the league should not have to give second chances. Sex with a 13 year old girl is certainly one of them (he was 26 at the time). Maybe MLB won’t have to deal with it. He may be too old to play by the time he gets out. He may be facing 10-20 years.
What do you mean go wrong?... the Pirates have the same problem they have had since 1993 and beyond... ownership that doesn’t give a damn....
Until the MLB forces a change on the Pirates, the owners will simply continue to not spend one red cent more for talent then they are obligated to under the profit sharing requirements... and will pocket every single penny beyond that into their own bank accounts.
Honestly, if you live in the Pittsburgh area and go to a Pirate game, you are part of the problem.... That stadium should be empty, totally empty other than for fans of out of town teams wanting to see them play,
He predict that he will be a First Round Draft Pick in the Prison Yard Baseball League.
Newman and Reynolds have been good.
You’d think he’d be suspended given how the serious the charges are.
Hey, someone has to take the fall. Oh, and look.....it was a black man. Imagine that...
Isn’t it amazing that they can find old evidence on this black ball player, while every white FOB & Hillary, and rich horny guys get to skate? Now that’s what the politically connected call Too Effing Bad.
Perp changed his surname in 2018.
What did MLB know and when did it know it...
Which would be...right about now.
Maybe they can trade him to the Somali Pirates for a hijacker to be named later.
Where were these rich, athletic, famous people when I was a teen?

I grew up in the Burgh area and am still a Pirates fan. This year has been a total nightmare - the one consistent bright spot has been Vazquez. Once Collapsening II happened I was hoping they would complete the trade with the Dodgers but alas.....
We all need to remember innocent until proven guilty - but it sure doesn’t sound good. I guess Keone Kela, another head job, is the new closer. Their brightest hope is now to lose out the rest of the season and get a decent draft pick. Next season is pretty much a wash as well - the only top prospect left (K’Bryan Hayes) projects as a middling big leaguer, the pitching staff is reminiscent of the 1980’s and there will be no money to hire decent free agents. And Papa Clint and Uncle Ray will pick and grin through it all.
Les Wexner was a Columbus OH billionaire tightly connected to Epstein.
One day in Columbus, a terrified lawyer lost a footrace to a condomimum front door he’d been pounding on:
He was shot twice in the head, murdered by a man dressed in all black.
The cops all considered the murder connected to Les Wexner but abandoned the investigation, as “certain elements risked being LIBELOUS to Les Wexner”.
Who has EVER heard of the cops stopping a Murder Investigation over similar concerns...?
HERE is the complete report on that murder:
