Pirates Prospects has learned that outfielder Fabricio Macias, who was signed out of Mexico in February, will join the West Virginia Power today. To make room on their roster, pitcher Blake Cederlind was promoted to Bradenton last night.
The Pirates signed Macias (pictured above), along with his teammate in Mexico, fellow outfielder Fernando Villegas, both in February. Villegas reported to the Dominican once he got his visa, while Macias reported to Pirate City in Bradenton.
Macias was supposed to join the Power to start the season, but there were issues with details in his contract and he spent all of Extended Spring Training playing at Pirate City while he waited for the final approval.
