Slew of Pirates farmhands elects free agency

With the regular season officially in the books, the Pittsburgh Pirates now turn their attention to the offseason.

While teams cannot shop on the free agent or trade markets until the end of the postseason, some farmhands elected free agency yesterday in hopes of finding luck with another organization.

According to the Indianapolis Indians’ transaction page, the following players elected free agency:

  • INF Michael Chavis (sorry, Patricia)
  • UTIL Josh VanMeter
  • OF Greg Allen
  • RHP Austin Brice
  • RHP Tyler Beede
  • LHP Dillon Peters
  • RHP Jerad Eickhoff
  • RHP Eric Hanhold
  • 3B Taylor Davis

If anything, it wouldn’t be too surprising if the Pirates re-sign Chavis to a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training.
