The Pittsburgh Pirates have officially made their first acquisition of the offseason by claiming a 28 year old catcher. Here is what the Bucs are getting.
Last offseason, Ben Cherington made it very clear that the Pittsburgh Pirates needed to improve the quality of depth behind the dish. While the club was unable to land a notable catching prospect, he did make several moves to bring in some veteran catchers. This includes when he signed Luke Maile, John Ryan Murphy, and Andrew Susac; all three veterans who were brought in on league minimum type contracts.
