One of the few bright spots from the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2021 season came from 1B/OF Yoshi Tsutsugo. In 144 plate appearances with the team, the 29-year-old slugger hit .268/.347/.545 with eight home runs, eight doubles, and one triple. Although his defense was suspect at best, Yoshi brought some much-needed pop to the Pirates’ offense. At this current moment, Tsutsugo is a free agent. That said, according to Alex Stumpf of DK Pittsburgh Sports, the Pirates and Tsutsugo have been in contact.
The Pirates and Yoshi Tsutsugo have been talking "quite a bit," per source, but there is no deal in place yet.
