Pirates Reportedly Dismiss Director of International Scouting Junior Vizcaino

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reportedly dismissed Junior Vizcaino as the Director of International Scouting, according to Francys Romero. The team has also dismissed Luis Silverio, the Senior Advisor of Latin American Operations.

Vizcaino took over for Rene Gayo in 2017, while Silverio was the senior advisor of Latin American operations prior to that.

The Pirates have had very few prospects from Latin America make it to the majors during this time. Luis Ortiz is the single prospect who has made it to Pittsburgh, after being signed in 2018 for $25,000.
