According to Bucs Dugout, the Pirates have a bit of a logjam at shortstop in the minor league system right now. The most likely option for Newman as his first assignment is the Low-A, Short-season West Virginia Black Bears, since current prospect Cole Tucker is at the full-season West Virginia Power.
