BRADENTON, Fla. -- Connor Scott was watching a movie with his girlfriend when he got the phone call. She was irked that he was on his phone, but he had to take it.
He had just found out he was traded.
“It ended up being some good news,” Scott said at the Pirates’ minor-league camp at Pirate City Tuesday. “We were super excited. My whole family is excited.”
Scott was one of three players the Pirates received from the Marlins on the Nov. 29 trade for Jacob Stallings, which because of the lockout has been the most impactful move the team has made for both its short-term and long-term plans.
