PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – A week into the abbreviated spring training, the Pirates’ rotation does not appear to be much clearer than it was at the start. While a handful of opening day spots look filled – namely Mitch Keller and José Quintana – there are more than a handful of pitchers who are competing for one of those jobs, or at least a roster spot.
That includes Zach Thompson.
Thompson, 28, was one of three players the Pirates got back from the Marlins in the Jacob Stallings trade this offseason.
