The Pittsburgh Pirates announced a large group of rosters moves as soon as today’s Spring Training finale ended. This sets the roster for now, though there will have to be another move because they sent down (reassigned to minor league camp) all three players going for the backup catcher spot, which included Michael Perez, Taylor Davis and Jamie Ritchie. They won’t be going into the season with one catcher, and there are 27 players right now on the 28-man roster, so expect something soon.
Also reassigned to minor league camp today were Bligh Madris, Hunter Owen and Jerad Eickhoff.
