Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles goes inside the clubs decision to demote starter Andrew Heaney to the bullpen this past weekend. Was the decision by manager Don Kelly and GM Ben Cherington financially motivated? As was seemingly the case last year with pending free agent Rowdy Tellez?

Especially with prospects like Bubba Chandler and Hunter Barco in search of opportunities? Noah tackles those questions and more.
