PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen can sense the end of his baseball career coming.
It's not quite here yet.
The five-time All-Star agreed to a $5 million, one-year deal on Monday to stay in Pittsburgh for the 2025 season, confident he can still be a difference-maker for a team trying to get back toward postseason contention.
“I think the biggest thing for me is knowing I can still compete and can still be able to produce,” the 38-year-old said. “I still feel like there’s a way that I can be better and I know that it’s still in there.”
