Now I understand the Bristol Pirates

I think the addition of the Bristol Pirates is finally making sense to me now. It is related to how they are doing Latin American signings. The Pirates are doing Latin American signings different than most every other team. Perhaps it is motivated by money. They are not spending big dollars and are not incurring penalties like some teams are doing. They are pretty minor slaps on the wrist, and would be worth it if it landed a big name. But the Pirates are going to the other extreme. The Pirates are signing anyone they can get their hands on.
