Exclusive: Cervelli decides he's done catching … forever

Francisco Cervelli #29 of the Pittsburgh Pirates prepares to bat against the Texas Rangers in the second inning at Globe Life Park in Arlington on April 30, 2019 in Arlington, Texas.

PITTSBURGH — "I'm a catcher. It's what I do. I catch."

The Pirates' starting catcher spoke those words back in Bradenton, when I asked for maybe the billionth time about his concern over concussions. And the response was no different than the billion times before.

Until this time.
