In the “you have to read it to believe it” department comes this article on Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Salomon Torres. Seems he — no, you know what, I’m just going to let the man speak for himself:
I’ve given everything I have to the team, to the city of Pittsburgh, and I would like nothing more […]
