The Pirates have claimed Ryan Vilade from the Rockies. Vilade is a corner outfielder.

Interesting record, hit .303 in the California League at 20 in 2019, went to Triple A in 2021 and his hitting has dropped off.

Jason Mackey posted a note that he likes to work counts, and is not a big strikeout guy. He might be an interesting player.

I read somewhere that he is a bat first player. He is certainly worth looking at.

Not a waiver claim but a trade for first baseman - https://www.piratesprospects.com/2022/1 ... rtman.html

Sure, would be nice if Choi has a breakout season and just mashes the ball.

Hopefully Choi doesn't turn out to be Tsutsugo 2.0
