CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Over the last week, the Pirates whittled down their Spring Training roster, position players worked deep into games and pitchers shifted from experimentation to competition. On Tuesday morning, the 25 players remaining in camp packed their bags, donned their travel-day suits and left LECOM Park for the last time this year.
"I know today, especially, everyone's mind is on the real thing," Jameson Taillon said. "We're ready."

The Pirates wrapped up their Spring Training schedule with a 5-5 tie against the Phillies on Tuesday.
