Pittsburgh Pirates Complete A Minor Trade With The Minnesota Twins

The Pittsburgh Pirates have a new bullpen depth option in the form of Pat Light. On Thursday afternoon, the Bucs acquired the right-handed relief pitcher from the Minnesota Twins. In exchange for the Light, the Pirates will send the Twins a player to be named later.

I would not expect this to be a player of any significance whatsoever. To be honest, I would not be surprised if the Bucs just wound up sending the Twins cash in the end.

This is a trade the Pirates made to add some bullpen depth. Barring something catastrophic in Spring Training, Light will begin the season at Triple-A Indianapolis.
