So far, 41,878 people have signed a petition to ask Major League Baseball to force Bob Nutting to sell the Pirates. It won’t do a thing, but it might be the only time in 2018 that 40K Pirates fans gather in one place.

Cole said:
"It's refreshing to come to an environment where the team is willing to continually put resources into the club and continue to move forward and try to provide the best possible product for its fans."
He's aware of the Astros' recent tank job right?

Not sure how I missed this irony the first time. Has Cole always been this funny?
