The Pirates confirmed Thursday that they are going to use Peoples Natural Gas Field, home of their AA affiliate Altoona Curve, as an alternate training facility for the 2020 season.
This will be the home for the team's "taxi squad" players.
“The Pirates organization is appreciative of the long-standing relationship we have had for over two decades with the Altoona Curve,” Ben Cherington said in the press release. “The people, proximity, along with the first-class facility, makes Peoples Natural Gas Field an ideal choice to safely host our alternate training site for the upcoming season.
