For as bad as the Pittsburgh Pirates ended up playing on the field last season, things were just as bad, if not worse, off the field. There were numerous incidents between coaches and teammates that really raised questions about the state of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. If the team wasn’t fighting with themselves, they were fighting the Cincinnati Reds on the field.
One player in the middle of a few of these incidents was Keone Kela. Kela’s journey as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates has been strange, to say the least. This past year started with him getting hit hard through the first month of the season.
