The Pittsburgh Pirates have made significant roster changes, adding six young players, including power-hitting outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez, and letting go of five former major leaguers. Valdez, a twenty-one-year-old, had a remarkable season, leading the Arizona Fall League in home runs and being named their Offensive Player of the Year. The Pirates also hired Kristopher Negron as the new bench coach and Tony Beasley as the third-base coach, focusing on developing young talent and bringing in experienced leadership.
