According to Chris Cotillo, the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to sign Travis Snider to a minor league deal. That will allow the team to add him without dropping anyone else at this point from the 40-man roster. Snider started off strong this season, but that ended quickly and he hasn't hit much since mid-April. He was recently released by the Baltimore Orioles, who traded two left-handed pitcher prospects(Stephen Tarpley and Steven Brault) to the Pirates in December. Since it's a minor league deal, there is no risk adding him at this point and he should be a September call-up when the rosters expand.
