The long-awaited release of Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Kevin Young has finally happened, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Robert Dvorchak. Young was given his unconditional release Saturday night, following a stretch where his numbers fell dramatically over the past two seasons. "It's time for a change. I know that," Young said. "The only thing I regret is that I wanted to see the organization get over the hump. To leave it when it's at the same point it was 10 years ago is the most disturbing part."

The AP’s Alan Robinson reports Pittsburgh Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy stated Wednesday he disagreed strongly with statements made by 1B Kevin Young that poor fan support was a contributing factor to the team’s 6-16 home record. Young also said that the fans who did show up weren’t as supportive as fans from other cities. “I don’t share Kevin Young’s opinion,” said McClatchy, who thinks winning would help increase attendance, which is currently down about 15 percent from last year. McClatchy was later observed talking with Young before Wednesday’s game; the two also shook hands.
