The Pittsburgh Pirates made their first official addition of the 2025-26 offseason on Monday, claiming outfielder Will Robertson off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and designating Ryan Kreidler for assignment in a corresponding move.
Robertson is a 28-year-old outfielder who has yet to make a real MLB impact. He’s bounced around the minors and projects as a Quad-A type player – a solid Triple-A performer, but one who is unlikely to provide meaningful production in the Majors. He is a fringe depth piece, not a difference maker. His solid, yet unspectacular offensive numbers at Triple-A don’t project to carry over against MLB pitching.
