PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - The Pirates continue to add players as they near the midpoint of a very disappointing season. On Thursday, they claimed outfielder Anthony Alford off waivers from the Blue Jays.
Alford, 26, was on Toronto's opening day roster. He was designated for assignment on August 20 after collecting three hits in 16 at bats with a home run and three RBI.
The Blue Jays drafted Alford in the third round of the 2012 draft out of the University of Mississippi. For his career he has a .155 average in 46 games.
