The return of baseball not only guarantees another season of action on the diamond, but the return of dumpster diving by the Pittsburgh Pirates as well.
Earlier today, the team announced on Twitter that they have claimed LHP Aaron Fletcher off waivers from the Seattle Mariners, filling the remaining spot on their 40-man roster.
Fletcher, 26, was a former No. 23 prospect in the Mariners’ organization, but fell off the wagon while in the MLB after surrendering 11 earned runs in eight innings pitched between the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
