The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the midst of playing the worst baseball they have ever played under Clint Hurdle. They are currently in the basement in the National League Central and have the second worst record in the National League.
With the team struggling, they are given an opportunity to try to see what young talent could potentially help them in 2020. However, they also are able to bring in some intriguing waiver claims to see if they can turn them into a part of the roster for the future as well.
The Pittsburgh Pirates made a waiver claim yesterday on an interesting relief pitcher by the name of Yacksel Rios.
