The Pirates missed out on B.J. Surhoff. Now they have his nephew Colin Moran.

Posted Apr 4, 2018
In 1998, two decades before rookie Colin Moran drew a curtain call with his first swing at PNC Park, his uncle B.J. Surhoff sat across the table from then-Pirates general manager Cam Bonifay at a Mount Washington restaurant. Bonifay presented Surhoff with an offer: a four-year, $15 million free-agent deal to be the Pirates’ next third baseman. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
