The Pittsburgh Pirates were plenty busy during the MLB Winter Meetings, adding through free agency and the Rule 5 draft.
Over the course of the week, they worked deals to add three pitchers to the roster. That includes agreements with Jarlin Garcia and Vince Velasquez, who have yet to be made official. The Pirates have expressed the intention to sign additional players, so don’t be surprised if there are more moves to come after this week.
In the meantime, here’s a look at how the roster is shaping up, with one open spot on the 40-man.
Starting Pitching Options
JT Brubaker
Mike Burrows
Roansy Contreras
Mitch Keller
Max Kranick – Injured
Luis Ortiz
Johan Oviedo
Bryse Wilson
Vince Velasquez – Not on 40-Man Yet
That last one might be a little strange to see there, as he pitched much better out of the bullpen than he did as a starter this past season.
