My goodness! He would have hit the bull.

Pirates released OF Charlie Tilson.

Tilson was signed as a non-roster invite by the Pirates in January, and is part of several cuts handed out by the Pirates. He's hit .246/.310/.290 in three partial seasons in the majors, and he'll likely hook on with someone as organizational depth before the 2020 season ends, assuming it begins.

Wow, he never changed.

That’s a great song he’s referencing too.

Phillies released RHP Bud Norris.

Norris was signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training in January after he impressed during a workout at Rice University. The right-hander did not pitch at all in 2019 because of a forearm injury, and it seems likely the the 35-year-old won't throw a competitive pitch for anyone in 2020, as well.

Jon Jay, who was signed to a minor league deal in February, has won a spot on the Diamondbacks roster.

It's an odd sort of encore for Jay, considering that he was pretty awful in hitting .235/.304/.325 in 320 PA for Arizona in 2018. He was just as bad for the White Sox last year, batting .267/.311/.315 in 182 PA before going down with a hip injury. He's well-liked around the league and he could still contribute the occasional single, but with the way his defense has declined, he doesn't seem worthy of a roster spot at this point.
