There are the crazy Cuban rumors and then there's this

Apparently, the Pirates have had to go public to quell rumors that the Red Sox are interested in Dave Littlefield. Wow, where do these rumors come from?. It already seemed like the Red Sox were bound and determined to interview the least qualified people available for the job, between Jim "I love outfielders" Bowden and Jim "I was the worst half of a terrible two-headed GM monster" Beattie. I guess Littlefield doesn't look too bad compared to those two, but then again it's not like he has a sparkling resume here either. You know what, if they want him, they can have him.

At the bottom of the article in a completely unrelated note, the Pirates have signed Terry Adams to a minor league contract. Apparently the Terry Mulholland and Rick White eras didn't provide us with enough old relievers with goatees so we're coming back for more.
