General Manager Ben Cherington stated, 'We feel like we gave Rowdy lots of opportunity here this year,' indicating that performance, not bonus potential, influenced the team's decision.
Tellez's 2024 season included 421 plate appearances, four shy of the 425 needed for a $200,000 bonus, showcasing the precarious balance between contracts and performance.
Despite earlier struggles, Rowdy Tellez improved his performance with a .243 batting average and 13 home runs, but it was not enough to secure his roster spot.
Tellez joined the Pirates under a one-year deal worth $3.2 million, reflecting expectations that ultimately weren't met, leading to the team's decision to DFA him.
