In addition to the signings of Daniel Ortiz and Curtis Partch, which we already knew about, the Pirates have announced a variety of minor league signings today.
RHP Deolis Guerra
RHP Wilfredo Boscan
LHP Robert Zarate
INF Cole Figueroa
Guerra and Boscan, of course, were in the Pirates' system last year, and getting Guerra back in particular is a nice bit of news -- if he and his floating changeups are in the big-league bullpen for a long stretch, that isn't good, but he's excellent minor-league depth, and he was terrific for Indianapolis last year. Boscan is a fairly generic minor-league starter who the Pirates promoted to the big leagues several times last year but never put in a game.
