Lombardozzi, Wall and Morris Declare Free Agency

Steve Lombardozzi, Josh Wall and Hunter Morris have become free agents after declaring free agency on Tuesday. Neither Lombardozzi nor Morris had reached minor league free agency with six minor league seasons apiece(seven is needed), but the collective bargaining agreement has a clause which allows players to elect free agency after their second outright assignment.

Lombardozzi had two stints with the Pirates this year, seeing time in early May when Andrew Lambo went on the disabled list, then again in late June when they sent down Jose Tabata and Chris Volstad. Lombardozzi went 0-for-10 in 12 games, with a walk and a run scored.
