Happy Minor League Opening Day!
The MLB Opener yesterday was a roller coaster ride. A record extension for Ke’Bryan Hayes, followed by Hayes leaving in the first inning of the first game. Fortunately, he seems to be okay.
I love the extension for Hayes, and I’ll have more thoughts on that when more details are known. I’d like to see the Pirates take a similar approach with Mitch Keller. That’s coming from the perspective of someone who believes we’re about to see a breakout season from the former Pirates top prospect.
Today is Opening Day for three of the four Pirates full-season minor league teams.
