Pittsburgh Baseball Now Notes

Trying to make sense of the Polanco waiver situation.

There were three Pirates who stood out last week.

Anthony Alford activated, Michael Chavis called up.

Despite being put on waivers, Polanco started last night.

Ke’Bryan Hayes comes in the clutch and seals the comeback win.

Pirates Prospects Notes

The dynamic duo of John Dreker and Tim Williams had you covered in all things Pirates minor league teams and players. First, Tim discusses O’Neil Cruz’s return from the IL. Finally, John throws a frozen rope home in the prospect watch in a very slow day of action.
