Welcome aboard, Jody. Gerut is a 27 year old left-handed RF who can't hit lefties. Against righties, he's decent. In 2003, he tore the rotator cuff in his left shoulder. In Sept. 2004, he tore the ACL in his right knee. So he's either undervalued or injury-prone. Overall, it sounds like he'll fit right in. He's only making 356K this year, so this should free up some money for either next year's payroll or Nutting's coffers.
75 minutes past the deadline and this is the only Pirates trade that has been announced.
