Bullington traded to the Japan Carp’s
The Royals have released former Pirates first rounder Bryan Bullington so that he can sign with the Hiroshima Carp.
Bullington, 30, was signed first overall in the 2002 draft by the Bucs. He has a 5.62 ERA in 81 2/3 innings for the Pirates, Royals, Indians and Blue Jays.

More than a few players have gone to the Far East and have come back and showed their maturity.
Maybe Bullington just needs to go to Japan for a year and have his own “C J Wilson” moment, then come back and kick some royal booty.
Even though the Pirates will not have his rights when he returns, it would be a great “feel good” moment to know he righted his pitching “ship”.
