BRADENTON, FL (93.7 The Fan) - The Pirates reduced their spring training roster by 5 players, optioning shortstop Cole Tucker, outfielder Jason Martin, and pitchers Aaron Slegers and Jesus Liranzo to Indianapolis and reassigning pitcher Alex McRae to the minor league camp.
Tucker is one of the team's top prospects and, despite hitting .389 this spring with a double, a triple and 2 home runs, knew that he'd be starting the season in Triple A.
