Former Toronto Blue Jay and Pittsburgh Pirate Rowdy Tellez was disrespected in a major way this season after being released with 6 games left in the season due to a end of the year bonus.

The Pirates decided to release Tellez on September 24th, six days before the end of the season and the reasoning seems to be that he was four plate appearances away from receiving a $250,000 bonus on the season.

Former Toronto Blue Jay and Pittsburgh Pirate Rowdy Tellez speaks on being cut 6 days before the end of the season

Fans were shocked that the Pirates decided to do this to Tellez who was far from their worst player and did not deserved to be released clearly pointing to the fact that they simply wanted to save $250,000.

Tellez was on the Foul Territory podcast on Saturday and spoke on the incident, stating that he was caught off guard but added that he understands that it is a business.
Rowdy Tellez says that he was "caught off guard" when he was DFA'd with just 6 games remaining, but understands that it is a business.

Clearly Rowdy took the professional approach to answering the questions regarding this past season in Pittsburgh since it is pretty clear that he was released due to the team not wanting to spend money.
Overall, his first season in Pittsburgh wasn't great. Tellez finished the season slashing .243/.299/.392 with 13 home runs in 421 plate appearances, down from the 35 he hit in 2022. The 29-year-old finished with a 90 wRC+ and a -0.5 fWAR. -Delaney

This will surely hurt the Pirates throughout free agency as players will think twice about signing there with how the front-office disrespected Rowdy this season.
