PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — It seems as though former Pirates manager Clint Hurdle is ready to move on after his firing.
Hurdle was let go Sunday afternoon just hours before the final game of the regular season, and just days after reports surfaced that he was given a guarantee by the team he would be back in 2020.
