Pineda May Ink Endorsement Deal With Grandpa's

Completely unreliable sources have told Boston Dust Mites that Yankee pitcher Michael Pineda may be close to signing an endorsement deal with Grandpa's Wonder Pine Tar Soap. Terms of the deal are not yet known, but the sources indicate it will likely be at least three figures.

An internal source—who requested anonymity since they are not authorized to speak with the media—said that Pineda's two pine-tar incidents had significantly raised the visibility of their product. The tentative marketing slogan would be, "Pine-It With Pineda!". Boston Dust Mites will provide further details once they become available.
