One place to always look for updates on the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system is MLB Pipeline. They do a tremendous job every year in ranking all the Major League team’s top 30 prospects. As the year progresses and players lose prospect eligibility, or are dealt away in trades, new prospects show up on the lists. This happened with the Pittsburgh Pirates this past season at the trade deadline.
The team dealt away prospects Austin Meadows, Shane Baz, and Taylor Hearn all who were top 10 prospects. So the team saw numerous new prospects enter the list.
