[新聞] Pirates Extend Neal Huntington, Clint
The Pirates have announced that they've extended the contracts of general
manager Neal Huntington and manager Clint Hurdle for three years each through
2017, with club options for 2018. Huntington and Hurdle had both been under
contract through 2014, with team options for 2015. With Huntington and
Hurdle's deals done, the Pirates are currently working on contracts for
assistant GMs and coaches, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
tweets.
"Neal and Clint have led a team of baseball professionals, in the front
office and on the field, that has transformed the Pittsburgh Pirates into a
club that again must be reckoned with in the National League," says team
president Frank Coonelly. "We are extremely pleased that they will continue
to lead this team in Pittsburgh."
Prior to 2013, the Pirates had five straight losing seasons under Huntington
and two straight under Hurdle, who was hired prior to the 2011 season.
(Huntington inherited a poor big-league team and farm system upon taking the
Pirates' GM job in 2007, so the losing in the first several seasons was not
primarily his fault.) The team endured second-half collapses in both the 2011
and 2012 seasons.
In 2013, however, Huntington and Hurdle led the Pirates to their first
winning season and playoff berth since 1992, as the team won 94 games and
beat the Reds in the NL Wild Card game before falling to the Cardinals in the
NLCS. Huntington's offseason acquisitions of Russell Martin, Francisco
Liriano and Mark Melancon were crucial to the Pirates' success. Hurdle led a
shift-heavy defensive strategy that was a key component of the Pirates'
surprising season, and he took the 2013 National League Manager of the Year
award for his efforts.
