Eddy Yean, the guy the Pirates really wanted in the Josh Bell trade, is eligible for the Rule 5 draft. His minor league career has been underwhelming.

I have been traveling and didn't notice on MLB Trade Rumors that the Pirates added anyone to 40 man or make any other moves. Is that correct?

To me it is a bad sign if you have a year of not having a prospect that you worry about protecting. Maybe it happens because they have already been promoted to the 40 man before they reach Rule 5 eligibility but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Bucs. Maybe Peguero and Bae made it to majors earlier.

Yep, they left Siani, etc. unprotected.

Alex Stumph says the Pirates will non tender Connor Joe, and Del a Cruz. I am surprised they gave up on DelA Cruz. He didn’t perform well, but they gave up a couple of prospects to acquire him in late July.

Noah Hiles is reporting that Hunter Stratton is being non tendered as well.

Proof that God really exists was confirmed today when Jonathan India was traded by the Reds to Kansas City. So he’ll be personally responsible for beating us in only three games next season instead of all those others.

Picked up Peter Strzelecki from Cleveland for cash, most likely his replacement.

I wonder who the Bucs are going to replace these guys with?

IMO, still a lot of marginal players on 40 man roster: Tristan Gray, Alika Williams, Bae, Palacios and Cabbage not to mention pitchers.
