The Pittsburgh Pirates purchased Tyler Bashlor’s contract from the New York Mets last season and the reliever could be a breakout candidate heading into 2021
Over the last few years, the Pittsburgh Pirates made a handful of small moves and some have turned into some players with solid potential. Some of those include selecting Sam Howard off waivers from the Colorado Rockies, purchasing Chris Stratton’s contract from the Los Angeles Angels and flipping struggling starter Jordan Lyles to the Milwaukee Brewers for Cody Ponce.
