Could McCutchen be returning to the team that drafted him, and the club that he made his Major League debut with? Only time will tell. McCutchen at least doesn't seemed to be turned off to the idea.

McCutchen played the first nine years of his big league career with the Pirates, where he collected five All-Star appearances, four Silver Sluggers, an MVP and a Gold Glove. The Pirates traded him to the San Francisco Giants prior to the start of the 2018 Major League Baseball season. He has since played for the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.

McCutchen slashed .237.316/.700 in 2022 with 17 home runs for the Brewers in 2022. He is entering his age-36 season.
