Today was the day for Major League teams to get down to 40 players on their 40-man roster. With five players on the 60-day injured list, the Pittsburgh Pirates needed to clear at least five spots. That became six spots when they acquired Ji-Man Choi from the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Pirates announced that pitchers Peter Solomon, Beau Sulser, , Blake Cederlind and Eric Stout, catcher Jason Delay and 1B/C Zack Collins were all removed from the roster and cleared waivers. They were all sent outright to Indianapolis. Collins and Stout both became free agents.
Delay spent the most time with the Pirates this year and he will probably have a chance to win a roster spot out of Spring Training, unless the catching situation drastically changes.
