As we found out on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Pirates have added right-handed pitcher Osvaldo Bido to the 40-man roster and activated him for Wednesday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. There was already an open space for him on the 40-man roster. The Pirates optioned outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba to Triple-A Indianapolis to make room on the 26-man roster.
We posted a roundtable article earlier today, where six writers from the site gave their opinions on the short-term and long-term potential of Bido. The 27-year-old has been in the Pirates system since signing for $10,000 back in early 2017.
