Andrew McCutchen Remains Free Agent as Pirates Hold Off on Offer

Veteran Andrew McCutchen, 39, is still a free agent despite his desire to return to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he played the last three seasons. The Pirates have yet to offer him a contract, with insider Ken Rosenthal citing payroll constraints and a desire to add other hitters. McCutchen expressed his wish to play and meet fans one last time, tweeting, "I'm not done." Pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 11, making a reunion less likely as time progresses.
