Pirates Reportedly Put Bryce Brentz on Outright Waivers

Published:

According to Liz Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Pirates put outfielder Bryce Brentz on outright waivers on Saturday. Brentz is out of minor league options. He was competing for the final bench spot, which could go to Jose Osuna if the Pirates decide to keep a five-man bench, or they might decide to go with an eight-man bullpen. Opening Day is on March 29th, so they will need to make their final roster decisions soon.

Earlier today, four players were cut from Major League Spring Training, leaving the active roster at 33 spots at the time.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
