The big news from all of this is that after his roller coaster career, the Pittsburgh Pirates have finally cut ties with Jeff Locke. However, there was a reason they decided to make the move Tuesday evening instead of Friday at the deadline. The reason is because they had the opportunity to sign right-handed pitcher Lisalverto Bonilla. Bonilla, who pitched with the Dodger’s Double-A and Triple-A affiliate last season, was a free agent. He spent technically two years in the Dodgers system. In 2015 he was signed by them while rehabbing from his 2014 Tommy-John surgery. Then they released him to resign him for the 2016 season on a minor league contract.
