No big deal right? The Pirates are dealing with some injuries and could use a few good bats to fill in their lineup.
But the problem is that on Tuesday night, the Mets are holding their "T-Shirt Tuesday" event in which fans can get select tickets and a Marlon Byrd T-shirt for just $19. Yes, the same Marlon Byrd the team traded earlier in the day.
The Mets let Byrd fly all right.
All the way to Pittsburgh.
