The Pirates completed a clean sweep of their management team Monday morning, announcing the departure of general manager Neal Huntington and the arrival of new team president Travis Williams.
The club appointed Kevin Graves, who had been assistant general manager, to serve as interim manager during what it termed “the transition period.”
Pirates owner and board chairman Bob Nutting said in a statement that he appreciated Huntington’s dedication to the organization and the city during his 12-year tenure.
“His time with the Pirates should always be remembered for ending a long stretch of futility and bringing Postseason baseball back to Pittsburgh,” the statement read.
