Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

Keeping Brandon Belt from returning to the Longhorns for his senior season didn't cost the San Francisco Giants nearly as much as Colton Cain cost the Pirates. Instead, Belt signed for $200k in an unsurprising move -- best of luck to him with the Giants. In more surprising news, late signee Noah Perio, a strong candidate to take over the second-base job, signed with the Marlins for around $225k. That leaves Everett Williams and Josh Urban as the two players who may still sign. Rumors have Williams signing with the Padres for a little less than a million, while the Pirates are trying to make a late push on 19th-rounder Urban and may screw over Texas fans again with their aggressive pursuit of organizational depth. And yes, there is in fact no good news here. Don't shoot the messenger.
