I like the Pirates moves. Perez was great for Roansy Contreras, Oneil Cruz and Rodolfo Castro. That can continue, if needed. Mattison moves up & stays with a special group. Both are bright & well-liked. On the path to becoming MLB managers one day.

@Veno202 @Pirates Need the "ROSTER MOVES: we have recalled INF Oneil Cruz and optioned to Indianapolis _(some random pitcher, probably yajure)_"

Picture this: Game 162. Pirates are going for the elusive sweep. We’re down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth and two outs. Out steps Oneil Cruz. He puts one on the opposite side of the Allegheny and the Bucs win. The curse is lifted. We win 120 games in 2022 and get Cutch a ring.

@Dejan_Kovacevic #J1Q with just one weekend series left, should the pirates call up Oneil Cruz? Even if it’s just a few pinch hit ABs or some work in the field, just having that experience would seem beneficial heading into 2022
—Josh Karadeema 10/1/2021
I’d offer Oneil Cruz a contract this offseason with the hopes he accepts and then starts the year in the majors. They did it with Hayes who is infinitely better defensively, but Cruz’s power is something that costs too much for the Pirates to buy, so you have to roll the dice.
—Kraig Riley 10/1/2021
What if told you Oneil Cruz blasted his 5th HR with Indianapolis? - And what if I told you that said blast traveled 116 mph off the bat?
—Jason Shetler 10/1/2021
Oneil Cruz has played in six games with us. Tonight, he became the first Indians player since 2008 to homer in four consecutive games. He just might be the real deal, folks. 🤯 https://t.co/S1rEfa5ImT

Oneil Cruz and Roansy Contreras are going to be the only two people who get me excited for Pirates baseball next year. Maybe a resurgence from Young Hayes too
