The Hot Stove has flamed yet another Bucco. Per Twitter:
To make room on the 40-man roster for Tsutsugo, INF Colin Moran has been designated for assignment.

Moran came to the Pirates from the Astros in the Gerrit Cole trade back in early 2018. With his release, no players obtained from that trade remain with the team.
In his four seasons with the Pirates, Moran had a .269/.331/.419 slash line, with a .750 OPS. He manned third base in his first couple of seasons, then switched to first in 2020 after Josh Bell was traded to the Nationals and Ke’Bryan Hayes was brought up.
