With the final week of Spring Training coming to a close, teams around the league have been finalizing what their Opening Day roster is going to look like. The Pirates are no exception, and with the team optioning Liover Peguero to Triple-A, it seems the plan is to start Jared Triolo at second base, and he has more than earned that opportunity.
Throughout most of this process, the squad knew what Triolo was capable of given his defensive prowess and accomplishments in the minor leagues, but were unsure if and where he’d have a permanent spot on the team.
