Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@MLBONFOX: “The Rangers have designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment. McCutchen hit .192 with a .537 OPS in 73 at-bats for the Rangers this season.”
@SleeperRangers: “The Rangers have DFA’d Andrew McCutchen. After a great start to the year, the 39-year-old has struggled at the plate. He was slashing .192/.277/.260 with 1 home run and 5 RBIs. In addition, Texas has signed INF Nicky Lopez to a one-year deal.”
@ThePoniExpress: “I think this is it for Andrew McCutchen. And should be it. One of the greatest Pirates of all-time. Brought winning baseball back to Pittsburgh. He’ll have special place in our baseball history forever.”
@GoldyHappens: “Andrew McCutchen getting DFA’d for Nicky Lopez… should have listened to the Pirates & retired…”
@greggorox: “Good it needed to happen.”
@DonChed54: “If you booed Marcell Ozuna last night, don’t push for the Pirates to do this. Ozuna has not been good — Cutch has been even worse.”
