The Pirates and Andrew McCutchen are far apart in contract talks, reports ESPN's Jim Bowden. No need to fret, Pirates fans -- McCutchen can't hit the free agent market until after the 2015 season. Bowden writes that a six-year contract worth between $47-49 million, plus a club option, would be a fair deal for both sides. Such a deal would potentially buy out McCutchen's first three years of free agency. We assume that McCutchen and his representation would want more money under such as arrangement.
