The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired a reliever! I break down who the Pirates got in Ron Marinaccio and what they could do to get him back to his early days with the Yankees.
With the addition of Marinaccio, that means the end of Dennis Santana, who was DFA'd.
They also signed four more of their draft picks, including second-round pick Aiden Ruiz. I go over my thoughts on each of the four picks and some more draft thoughts with the class coming together.
