BRADENTON, Fla. - If one thing has been apparent with the recent roster moves by the Pirates, it's that they aren't relying solely on Austin Meadows.
The organization definitely hasn't given up on him. There will be a spot for him when he's ready.
But they're not leaving that spot open until then.
The Pirates made a series of moves leading into, and then at the start of Spring Training. They added Daniel Nava to play in a platoon in left field. They added Bryce Brentz to compete for a bench and possible platoon role. They added Michael Saunders to compete for the starting left field spot.
