Teams like Twins and Pirates seem to be happy with the status quo and don't want to make any major commitments to any players. Pirates were trying to save money so signed Raul Mondesi and that sure was a waste of money. Think the only reason Lloyd McClendon is still manager is that ownership knows it is not entirely his fault that the team has been lousy for years. Most teams would have fired him two or three years ago after Pirates kept losing at least 87 games during those seasons.
They haven't been above .500 since the 1992 division leading season. As soon as young stars like Jack Wilson and Jason Bay are in position to sign big contracts they probably will be gone to other teams to save money. Can't see attendance improving under these conditions.
