Cruz To Reach Out To Tatis Jr. About Move To Outfield

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Oneil Cruz is planning to reach out to Fernando Tatis Jr. They have a lot to talk about. Cruz says he was disappointed when he was told by the Pittsburgh Pirates that he was moving from shortstop to center field. He thought he had done enough this season to stay in the infield. But the 6-foot-7 Cruz is hoping for a transition like the one for Tatis, another Dominican Republic native and former shortstop who is now considered one of the best right fielders in the majors.
