Rod Barajas said he's willing to take a pay cut in order to remain with the Pirates next season. The Pirates hold a $3.5 million option on the catcher that they seem likely to decline, but Barajas doesn't mind coming back at a lesser rate. "I would like to be back here," Barajas said. "If that means we have to try to figure something out, then absolutely." The 37-year-old is batting just .197 with nine homers and 25 RBI this season.
