Port Charlotte, Fla. – The business side of baseball can be cruel and it can be confusing. Just ask Tigers right-hander Dario Agrazal.
The 25-year-old Panamanian started 14 games for the Pirates last season, finally getting to the Show after slogging through their minor league system for seven years. And for his efforts, he was unceremoniously designated for assignment.
OK, he’d been through that before. The Pirates DFA’d him after his Double-A season in 2018 and he pitched his way to the big-leagues the next year.
