Pirates Protected/Unprotected

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Note: This is NOT my current roster. This is the initial roster when I acquired the Pirates and denotes the first wave of my protections. It remains here so I have a full record from day 1 to present. Current roster is on the Roster page (always linked at bottom of all my posts and PMs).

Unprotected MLB Pirates:

SS Pedro Florimon (Pirates) ($1.0) 4th
OF Gorkys Hernandez (Pirates) ($1.0) 5th

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Adding:

RHP Dovydas Neverauskas $0.3 1st

to my protected list. He may not have much chance to ever make the big league roster. But the Lithuanian Lightning has easily the coolest name in my entire farm system. And he has the entire country of Lithuania cheering for him.

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Adding:

RP Antonio Bastardo (FA) $2.0 6th

Not sure why he wasn't on my list originally. Might have missed a copy paste somewhere.

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Adding:

Juan Nicasio (Pirates) $1.0 6th

Most recently with the Dodgers, but never protected on their roster and I find no transactions matching his name. Signed with the Pirates today.

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Correction to previous protects:

On Nov 26th I protected Jonathan Brubaker. He was already protected on my roster as "JT Brubaker". Much as I would love to ask him to play twice a day, it's too big a request to make.

Removing the "JT" version from the roster and freeing up the cap difference.

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Adding:

RHP Tyler Eppler (Pirates) $0.3 1st
RHP Trey Haley (Pirates) $0.3 1st (formerly with Indians but not protected by them, signed with PGH this week)

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Protect 80-grade namer RHP Montana Durapau (Pirates) $0.3 1st

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

Remove Antonio Bastardo from roster. Was not on Pirates roster at time of original protection in November.
