Today is the start of mini camp for the Pittsburgh Pirates at Pirate City. The technical term is “voluntary workouts” or something like that, since they can’t officially call it “mini camp” anymore. However, that’s basically what is going on here, with the MLB players in camp through Friday, and the minor league players in camp for at least two weeks (and some will be here until Spring Training).
Below is the list of players who are either in camp, or expected to be in camp. The players with an asterisk aren’t in camp yet, but either have their name on a posted list or on a locker. Some of those players might show up late, and some might not show up at all. Last year there were a few players who never arrived, despite having lockers. There were other players who were only here for a day, such as Andrew McCutchen, who was in camp the second day. There are some players on the MLB side who haven’t received official invites to Spring Training. I’m guessing they’ll receive invites before camp begins next month. The list below includes recently signed Charlie Leesman, and Wes Freeman, who was re-instated from the voluntary retired list.
