Part 3/8:

One of the clever pitches posited by the Pirates revolves around the advantages of being a small-market team. Sasaki's agent had indicated a preference for a quieter life away from the bright lights of bigger markets, and the Pirates seized this opportunity. According to the presentation, Pittsburgh reporters are generally less invasive, spending more time on personal projects and podcasts rather than scrutinizing player performances.

This angle not only highlights the advantages of Pittsburgh’s media landscape but also provides a sense of safety for Sasaki. With a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to feign ignorance of English to avoid tough questions, the presentation continues to convey an understanding of the player's potential challenges in adapting to a new environment.
