With manager Clint Hurdle and general manager Neal Huntington in the final year of their contracts, chairman Bob Nutting on Monday declined to comment on how much longer they’ll be with the team.
Hurdle and Huntington each received a three-year extension in April 2014. Those deals include a club option for 2018.
Nutting also declined to say if Jung Ho Kang, who is facing trial Wednesday for his third DUI arrest in South Korea, will be disciplined by the Pirates when he rejoins the team. Nutting said the Pirates will aid Kang through the club’s development system, which includes Pirates Charities and leadership programs.
Francisco Cervelli said the pain in the bottom of his right foot has kept him from working out the past two days, but he plans to be back in action today.
