The Pittsburgh Pirates have reached new lows this season, as the team continues to underperform and trudge along through another miserable campaign. “Sell the team” chants have become a norm at home games this year, getting so bad that the broadcast team for SportsNet Pittsburgh silenced them after an eruption at PNC Park during the Cleveland series. Owner Bob Nutting has long been public enemy number one for Pirates fans, and his relationship with the fanbase has never been worse.
Nutting might be the worst owner in professional sports, but is he really the worst possible option for the Pirates?
