Since 2012, Jordy Mercer has been a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Midway through 2013 he started to get the majority of starts at shortstop, and he has been the team’s starting shortstop since 2014. However, change may be on the horizon for Mercer and the Pirates.
The now 32-year-old Mercer is set to hit free agency following the conclusion of the World Series later this month. While most signs would point toward this signaling an end to Mercer’s Pirate career, that may not be the case.
Over the weekend, The Athletic’s Rob Biertempfel Tweeted that the Pirates and Mercer could be interested in continuing their relationship.
