Pittsburgh Pirates: Is Andrew McCutchen worth that $5 million?

The MLB Hot Stove has brought us both the feel-good and feel bad stories of this offseason. The feel good story involves Trevor Bauer being signed by some desperate team. Andrew McCutchen is interested in returning home to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Andrew McCutchen will make $5 million for his age-36 season. He will be the third-highest paid player in 2022. Kevin Newman will earn $1.95 million. McCuttchen has won one Gold Glove and 12 Gold Gloves in his career. He has always been a power hitter. His team Philadelphia and Milwaukee were two and 10 games over .500 in the last two seasons. Neither team made the playoffs. The team didn't have Bryce Harper, but both teams had winning records.

Andrew McCutchen is earning $5 million this season. His career OPS is .838. The Pirates are betting on a rebound this year.
